About Ayanna
Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with ten years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, and relationship concerns. Her aim is to guide clients toward more satisfying, stable lives.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside attachment-based and client-centered work. That means she pays attention to feelings and relationships and to how early bonds shape reactions today. Sessions are practical and focused on small changes that can shift how people relate to themselves and others.
Background and approach
Her experience includes supporting people facing parenting challenges, blended family issues, and caregiving stress. She also works with those coping with loss, abuse, mood shifts such as depression and bipolar challenges, and identity or intimacy concerns. She offers strategies for anger, self-esteem, burnout, and career-related stress.
Ayanna combines cognitive-behavioral and dialectical tools when helpful. That looks like learning new ways to notice thoughts, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful behaviors. She encourages steady practice so new habits take hold over time.
Her style is warm and approachable. She invites clients to work at a comfortable pace and emphasizes patience with the healing process. Parents and caregivers often find the focus on practical skills and clearer communication especially useful.
Ayanna sees people in Georgia and also works with international clients in English. She offers phone and video work along with live chat and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional responses in relationships. It helps people understand painful feelings and create new, healthier patterns of connection. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how those patterns show up now, helping people recognize triggers and build more supported ways of relating.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different methods to see what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together whether EFT, attachment work, CBT skills, or a mix makes the most sense for your situation.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video lets therapists and clients read facial expressions during deeper emotion work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you need a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick reflections, ongoing coaching, or when writing helps you process feelings. These options make it possible to keep therapy consistent across time zones and schedules.
