    About Ayanna

    Ayanna Sidle is a licensed professional counselor who uses a collaborative, client-centered style to help people make meaningful changes. She combines practical tools with a nonjudgmental presence to support people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, career concerns, and depression.

    She brings ten years of direct clinical experience to sessions. Ayanna creates a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be shared openly. She emphasizes listening first, then helping clients set realistic goals and try small steps toward change.

    Her approach draws on Motivational Interviewing to explore what matters most to each person and to strengthen motivation for change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Mindfulness practices to build awareness and reduce reactivity.

    Ayanna frames work as a partnership. She offers practical strategies, gentle challenge, and encouragement so people can experiment with new behaviors between sessions. Progress is built one step at a time.

    She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and practices in Texas. Her background includes helping people navigate transitions, rebuild confidence, and manage everyday stressors that interfere with work and relationships.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

    Ayanna commonly uses Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Motivational Interviewing involves open questions and reflective listening to help people clarify what they want and why. It can help when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and offers practical exercises to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that make sense for the person, and adjust as needed. The process is collaborative and paced to what feels doable for each client.

    The biography does not specify session delivery formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and offering more flexible scheduling. It also allows for shorter check-ins when needed and the option to choose audio-only conversations if less bandwidth or screen time is preferred. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so the work continues between meetings and fits everyday routines.
