About Ayanna

Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She aims to guide clients toward clearer communication and more balanced relationships. Her tone in sessions is warm, inviting, and down-to-earth.

She looks at the systems around a person when things feel stuck. That means paying attention to family patterns, parenting stress, and the ways past hurts show up now. She uses practical methods like cognitive-behavioral techniques and emotion-focused work to help people name thoughts and change unhelpful patterns.

Background and approach

Ayanna also draws on attachment-based ideas to rebuild connection and trust. That approach is useful for people coping with abandonment, attachment issues, or intimacy struggles. She works with people facing grief, trauma, and the fallout from abusive relationships.

Her background includes a decade of clinical experience as an LMFT in Georgia. Over that time she has supported people with depression, bipolar concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and career-related stress. She also helps those navigating blended family challenges, adoption and foster care topics, and caregiver stress.

In sessions she encourages patience and steady practice. The work focuses on learning new skills, changing patterns that began in childhood, and building emotional stability. Ayanna invites clients who are ready to try a collaborative, practical approach to change.

How attachment, CBT, and emotion-focused work translate online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present connections. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name unmet needs, and practice new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and mood problems and often includes homework between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people sit with and organize strong feelings, then use that awareness to change interactions and repair connection.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Ayanna will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit best for their goals and daily life. She adapts techniques over time so the plan matches the person's needs, preferences, and pace.

Online formats offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let therapists and clients read facial expressions and practice communication skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, coping skills practice, and quick coaching between longer sessions. Together these options make it easier to follow through with consistent therapy while fitting sessions into work, family, and caregiving routines.
