About Ayanna

Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress and emotional pain. She draws on methods that focus on relationships and individual coping so people can move toward more satisfying lives.

Background and approach

Her tone in sessions is warm and inviting, with an emphasis on practical skills and steady progress. She spends time identifying which patterns in daily life cause strain.

That might mean looking at how people relate to others, how they handle intense emotions, or how old habits keep coming back. Therapy blends gentle reflection with hands-on tools so clients have things to try between sessions.

Ayanna has ten years of clinical experience in Georgia and has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and stress.

She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting stress, caregiving strain, and identity issues including LGBT concerns. Her background includes approaches such as the Gottman Method, attachment-based work, client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavior techniques.

She adapts methods to each person’s situation instead of using one set plan for everyone. Sessions tend to focus on skills, communication, and changing unhelpful patterns.

Ayanna accepts clients in English and is open to international clients. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Cost depends on location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How relationship and skills-based therapies work online

Ayanna uses the Gottman Method ideas to look at communication patterns and strengthen connection. That approach helps people learn clearer ways to talk about feelings, manage conflict, and rebuild trust. Attachment-based work focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice and change those long-standing patterns.

She also uses client-centered techniques that keep the conversation focused on each person’s goals. That means the therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps shape plans that fit the client’s life. Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - the therapist and client will try methods, notice what helps, and adjust the plan together.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and teaching of communication skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, coaching, or when writing about difficult feelings helps clarify them.
