About Ayanna Jarrett
Ayanna Jarrett brings a decade of clinical experience to her work as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She views therapy as a collaborative process that supports growth, change, and a more fulfilled life, especially during the peaks and valleys that can produce deep emotional pain. Trained in a broad range of therapeutic modalities, she believes there is no single path to mental health; lasting change often comes from combining personal choice with new ways of responding to life’s challenges.
As an LMFT Ayanna focuses on the systems within a person’s life that are not functioning well and works to reshape those patterns. Her stated primary approaches include Narrative Family Therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy paired with dialectical behavior strategies (CBT/DBT), and solution-focused methods, and she uses data-driven techniques that match each person’s needs. She has recorded success helping people navigate grief and loss, narcissistic abuse, trauma and abuse, depression, anxiety and stress, blended family issues, parenting children with disabilities, and marriage counseling.
Ayanna’s style is described as warm, lighthearted, inviting, and nonthreatening while remaining earnest about fostering practical change. She encourages patience with the healing process, noting that learned dysfunctional patterns often take time to unlearn. Ayanna is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - a credential indicating training to work with individuals, couples, and families - and is not currently accepting new clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Ayanna integrates evidence-based methods to address relationship patterns and emotional regulation. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships - it helps people understand attachment needs and improve closeness and trust in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and the therapist’s nonjudgmental presence - it helps individuals explore their values and build self-directed change in a supportive environment. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors - it helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and practical problem solving by teaching skills to shift unhelpful thinking and develop new coping strategies.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ayanna works with each person to identify their goals, preferences, and strengths, and she adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the client’s needs rather than the other way around.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, geographic distance, or mobility constraints. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session styles, and access licensed professionals from varied locations while focusing on practical progress and emotional wellbeing.
