About Ayana
Ayana Lewis uses a client-centered approach to help people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, or low mood. She is a licensed clinical social worker with three years of experience and brings plainspoken guidance to each session. Ayana focuses on practical skills that can be used right away.
Her work includes helping people handle relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and questions about identity and intimacy. She blends mindfulness practices with cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused work.
How Ayana works
That means sessions mix breathing and grounding exercises with steps to challenge unhelpful thoughts. Ayana also draws on motivational interviewing to support people who want to change habits or take clearer steps toward goals. Clients can expect short-term, goal-oriented work when that fits, or a gentler pace when people need time to reflect.
Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve communication, and increase self-compassion. The approach is practical and action-minded when needed, and reflective when someone wants to process deeper feelings. Ayana holds the Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential and also lists CSW.
She practices from Georgia and offers services in English. She has worked across concerns such as depression, mood disorders including Seasonal Affective Disorder, body image and self-esteem, LGBT issues, compassion fatigue, and challenges tied to life transitions. Therapy sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are required.

How Ayana’s approaches work online
Ayana uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. That means she listens first, then helps set goals based on the client's priorities and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying new behaviors; it can help with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy teaches grounding and present-moment practices that reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Ayana will discuss options and help decide whether short-term, solution-focused work or a slower, reflective pace is the right fit. Goals, preferences, and life demands guide which techniques are used during sessions.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a lunch break or a tight schedule. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to use therapy when writing feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility so people can choose what fits their day and communication style.
