About Ayanna
Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends practical strategies with a systems-focused perspective to help clients navigate life’s challenges. She centers Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside other evidence-informed methods to identify unhelpful patterns, teach skills for emotional regulation, and support healthier ways of relating.
Background and approach
With ten years of clinical experience in Georgia, she draws on a variety of approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs. Her work attends to a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family struggles, parenting questions, intimacy and self-esteem issues, and care for those experiencing ADHD or bipolar challenges.
Ayanna also addresses specific difficulties such as abandonment, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, codependency, and communication or control problems. She describes her style as warm, inviting, and goal-focused, encouraging patience and steady practice as clients learn new behaviors and repair long-standing patterns.
Ayanna believes lasting change commonly arises from combining personal choice with targeted therapeutic tools, and she collaborates with clients to select approaches that fit their goals and life circumstances.
Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching practical coping skills, making it useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores relational patterns formed early in life and focuses on improving emotional connection and security in close relationships, which can be helpful for intimacy, attachment issues, and family dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ayanna collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques from different models as needed, treating therapy as a joint effort to build skills, strengthen relationships, and create sustainable change.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity during life transitions, and choose a communication style that feels most comfortable, while still allowing a licensed professional to guide treatment and monitor progress.
