About Ayanna

Ayanna Jarrett is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who blends relational and evidence-based methods to help clients navigate emotional pain and life transitions.

Background and approach

With ten years of experience, she draws on attachment-focused and cognitive-behavioral ideas alongside client-centered principles to address stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship concerns. Her work emphasizes changing the systems and patterns in a person's life that no longer serve them while building practical skills for emotional stability.

Jarrett approaches therapy with warmth and an inviting manner, offering guidance that is both compassionate and goal oriented. She addresses a broad range of concerns including depression, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and has additional focus in areas such as adoption and foster care, blended family issues, and caregiver stress.

Clients can expect encouragement to practice patience with the healing process and to adopt new coping strategies over time. She frames change as collaborative, using data-informed techniques that fit each person's needs and circumstances.

Evidence-informed approaches for online relational work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape emotional patterns and current connections; it helps clients explore attachment needs and improve relational security. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on the emotional bond in close relationships and helps partners or individuals express deeper feelings to heal attachment ruptures and improve intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is explored collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to determine which combination of attachment work, skill-based CBT, or emotionally focused interventions best matches their goals, preferred pace, and life circumstances rather than prescribing a single method from the start.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during life transitions, accommodate geographic limits, and access therapy from home or work. Licensed professionals can adapt these methods to remote formats so clients can build skills, process difficult emotions, and address relational patterns without sacrificing convenience.
