About Ayanna
Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Georgia who uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand their close relationships. She brings ten years of practice to sessions and aims for straightforward work that helps people feel steadier and more connected. Her manner is warm and inviting, and she focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings.
She looks at the systems in a person’s life that cause stress or keep them stuck.
Background and approach
That can mean talking through patterns that came from early family life, or looking at how current relationships affect mood and behavior. She draws on client-centered listening to hear what matters most to each person. Ayanna uses cognitive-behavioral tools when people need concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, or anger.
She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping skills. This mix helps people manage symptoms and change unhelpful habits over time. Her caseload has included grief and loss, trauma and abuse, blended family issues, parenting concerns, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship problems.
She also supports people facing life transitions, career stress, and intimacy challenges. Ayanna pays attention to both emotional patterns and practical needs while working with these issues. Sessions are delivered in English, and she accepts international clients.
Work may include coaching-style conversations, skill building, and exploring family stories that shape identity. The goal is to give people tools to respond differently, feel more effective, and move toward a more fulfilling life.

Online support
Attachment-informed and skills-based care online
Ayanna integrates attachment-based ideas with client-centered and cognitive-behavioral techniques to guide online work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps people rebuild trust and closeness in relationships. Client-centered therapy centers the person’s experience and uses empathic listening so clients feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) offers concrete strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and comfort level. Sessions may blend listening, skill teaching, and practical homework so clients can try new responses between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for quick updates, ongoing coaching, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives and different schedules.
