Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Ayana draws on client-centered therapy to place the individual's experience and goals at the center of each session, creating a supportive space where clients lead the pace and focus of their work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Mindfulness therapy offers simple grounding techniques and present-moment awareness practices that can reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.



Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ayana works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailors a blend of methods that fit the situation. This collaborative stance helps clients try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan together over time.



Online therapy with Ayana accommodates busy schedules and different comfort levels by offering video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support without long commutes, and allow therapists and clients to work together in ways that suit daily life and changing circumstances.
