About Ayanna
Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who uses collaborative, practical therapy to help people feel steadier in daily life. She focuses on clear, doable steps so clients can cope better with stress, relationships, grief, and ADHD-related struggles. Her tone is warm and direct, aimed at parents and adults who want straightforward help.
She believes lasting change comes from new habits and different ways of relating to others.
Background and approach
Sessions look at the systems in a person’s life that no longer work and where small shifts can make a big difference. Ayanna often combines client-centered listening with goal-focused techniques to build new skills and routines. Common concerns she addresses include anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, anger, and intimacy-related issues.
She also supports people navigating parenting challenges, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care questions, and caregiver stress. ADHD is one of the areas she works with alongside coaching for life changes and career concerns. Her approach is practical and patient.
She invites clients to try different strategies, learn new responses, and practice them between sessions. Ayanna emphasizes pacing the work so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming. Ayanna brings ten years of clinical experience in Georgia to her practice as an LMFT.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape how people relate now. It looks at patterns of closeness and distance and helps people practice new ways of connecting and trusting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches clear exercises to reduce anxiety, manage ADHD-related routines, and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose methods together. That collaborative process helps match skills-based tools with attention to relationships and emotion, so sessions are tailored to what feels most useful.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are good for face-to-face interaction and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat or text sessions allow brief check-ins, step-by-step coaching, or an easier way to fit therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep regular appointments and practice new skills between sessions.
