About Ayanna
Ayanna Sidle centers her work in evidence-informed methods, including cognitive behavioral strategies, while keeping clients' values and goals at the forefront. With a decade of clinical experience, she combines practical skill-building with a warm, collaborative manner to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and career challenges.
Background and approach
Her approach emphasizes helping people identify unhelpful thinking patterns, develop coping skills, and try small changes that produce meaningful shifts over time. As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC), Ayanna creates a supportive space where clients can explore thoughts and emotions without judgment.
She encourages clients to reflect on personal narratives, notice patterns, and cultivate present-moment awareness when helpful. Recognizing that reaching out for help takes courage, she focuses on empowerment and practical steps tailored to each person's circumstances and priorities.
Practices blend short-term, goal-focused techniques with person-centered listening, so individuals leave with tools they can use between sessions as well as a clearer sense of direction. Ayanna practices in Texas and draws on ten years of experience to guide clients toward greater balance and clearer decision-making.
Evidence-Informed Approaches via Online Sessions
Ayanna often integrates cognitive behavioral techniques with client-centered and mindfulness-based practices to help clients manage everyday challenges. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and developing concrete coping skills to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard as they explore goals and values. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ayanna works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs and preferences. She discusses options, tries techniques in session, and adjusts the plan based on what proves most useful, inviting clients to share feedback along the way.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility in how and when clients connect. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, maintain continuity when life is unpredictable, and try different session rhythms while still working toward clear goals with a licensed professional.
