Ayanna Sidle is a licensed professional counselor who blends practical talk with compassionate listening.

Background and approach
She encourages honest talk about what’s working and what isn’t, then tailors approaches to the situation. Her work draws on client-centered methods that center the person’s own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build healthier patterns.
Mindfulness practices are added to help manage stress and stay grounded when emotions run high. Ayanna also uses motivational interviewing to support change when motivation wavers, and narrative ideas to help people reframe difficult stories from their past. These tools are mixed to fit each person’s needs rather than as a fixed plan.
People who come to Ayanna can expect a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation and practical steps to try between sessions. She aims to help clients feel more confident in decision making and better able to handle day-to-day pressures. If someone wants to explore growth, she offers steady support through the process.

How Ayanna’s Approaches Fit Online Therapy
Ayanna commonly uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s goals and values. This means the conversation starts with what matters most to the client, and the therapist follows their lead while offering reflections and practical suggestions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online sessions can include simple exercises to notice thought patterns and try new behaviors between meetings. Mindfulness practices are offered to help calm the body and mind, with short breathing and grounding exercises that fit easily into daily routines.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then tailor methods to fit the person. That collaborative process aims to find a comfortable mix of tools rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and demonstrations, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins, and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and keep consistent momentum.
