About Ayanna
Ayanna Sidle is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She brings ten years of clinical experience and a calm, listening presence to each session. Her approach centers on understanding what matters to the person in front of her and working from there.
She uses client-centered methods to make space for honest conversation and to build trust. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps her clients notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical, small changes that reduce worry.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices are used to anchor attention and ease intense feelings in the moment. Ayanna combines narrative techniques and motivational interviewing to clarify values and strengthen motivation for change. Together these methods help people rewrite stressful stories about themselves and take steps toward goals like better relationships, clearer career direction, or stronger self-esteem.
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Sessions are offered by a counselor licensed in Texas with the credentials LPC and LPCC. She offers multiple remote formats so people can choose what fits their life and schedule.
Ayanna aims to support and empower people as they take practical steps toward a more manageable and satisfying life.
How therapeutic approaches fit into online care
Ayanna often uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space where people can share what matters to them and set their own pace. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental listener and practical support to sort through feelings.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT is useful for reducing anxiety and managing stress through small experiments and skills practice. Mindfulness Therapy is another tool she draws on to help people notice and ground themselves during moments of high emotion.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Ayanna will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. That plan can change as needs shift, and she treats it as a collaborative process between therapist and client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine. Video is good for face-to-face conversations, phone calls can use less bandwidth, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between appointments.
