About Ayanna

Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers her work on improving relationships and family dynamics. She focuses on practical change so people can manage stress, anxiety, grief, parenting challenges, and trauma. Her style is warm and approachable and she aims to help people build new skills for daily life.

She believes lasting change usually comes from small shifts in how people relate to themselves and others.

Background and approach

Ayanna pays attention to the systems around a person - who and what shapes their routines and reactions - and helps identify which patterns need to shift. She draws on cognitive and emotion-focused methods to help clients practice different ways of thinking and connecting. Many clients seek her help for relationship strain, parenting stress, depression, and trauma-related symptoms.

She also supports people facing career strain, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related challenges, and the long-term effects of abandonment or adoption experiences. Her experience includes work with blended family issues and caregiving stress. Sessions emphasize clear, doable strategies.

Ayanna uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches to change unhelpful thinking and from emotionally-focused work to strengthen connections. Dialectical skills are introduced when people need better emotional regulation during conflict or intense feelings. With ten years of clinical experience in Georgia, she brings a practical, patient-centered attitude.

Clients who want steady progress and new life skills will find her direct but encouraging manner helpful. She accepts clients from other countries and offers sessions in English.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions; it helps people understand patterns in close relationships and build more stable connections. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person in the room, encouraging open expression while the therapist listens and reflects to help people find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayanna will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process allows techniques to be adjusted over time so therapy fits the person's pace and needs.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different days and energy levels. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and emotional processing. Phone sessions are easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can support quick check-ins, homework prompts, or brief coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family life or work schedule.
