About Ayanna
Ayanna Sidle is a licensed professional counselor who brings a narrative-informed approach to therapy. She holds LPC and LPCC credentials and has ten years of clinical experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, low self-esteem, and career concerns. Her sessions focus on creating a respectful, open space where people can talk about what matters to them.
She encourages clients to tell their stories and notice patterns that shape how they see themselves and their choices.
Background and approach
That storytelling helps people spot small changes they can make right away. Ayanna uses a mix of practical strategies and reflective conversation. She draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s needs, and on cognitive-behavioral ideas to test unhelpful thoughts.
Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolbox when people want to build focus and momentum. She frames progress as a series of manageable steps rather than a single big shift. Sessions often include checking current goals, practicing a new skill, and planning one small action for the week.
This structure can help people feel steadier between appointments. Ayanna practices in Texas and works in English. She aims to support people who are ready to explore changes and gain clearer direction in everyday life.

Online session options
Narrative and practical approaches for online therapy
Ayanna often uses Narrative Therapy to help people retell their experiences and recognize patterns that limit choices. That approach focuses on personal stories and how reframing them can open new options for daily life. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes careful listening and responding to what each person needs in a given moment; this helps people feel heard and better able to set meaningful goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used when clients want concrete tools to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors that produce clearer results.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Ayanna will work with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences, trying practical tools and adjusting course as needed. The aim is to build skills that fit the client’s life rather than to force one model on every situation.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and interactive work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when someone prefers not to speak live. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity between sessions.
