With three years of clinical experience, Ayana combines client-centered listening with tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness. Sessions often include goal setting, noticing patterns of thought, and practicing grounding techniques that can be used between meetings.
Background and approach
She emphasizes short, manageable steps rather than big, vague promises. Ayana works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and life changes. She also addresses topics like body image, communication problems, commitment worries, and the challenges that come with mood changes and seasonal affective mood shifts.
Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. Clients can expect to talk through current problems, try new strategies in session, and track progress over time. Ayana explains tools clearly and helps people practice them so they fit into everyday life.
Sessions are offered remotely in Georgia in English. She holds the LCSW credential and the CSW designation and draws on motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques as needed to help people move forward.
Approach-focused online therapy that fits your life
Ayana commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT sessions often include tracking thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to test new ideas.She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple grounding and present-moment exercises. These practices help reduce rumination and build a calmer baseline for coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayana collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and daily routine. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what proves helpful in real life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and longer skill practice, phone sessions can fit into a short break, and chat or messaging can be used for quick check-ins or ongoing support. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent when schedules are busy or when shorter contacts are needed.
