About Ayana
Ayana Lewis is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Georgia and Texas with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and helps people coping with life changes. Ayana also addresses issues such as grief, compassion fatigue, self-esteem, and topics related to LGBT and women’s concerns.
She uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. That includes client-centered work to listen and reflect, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness practices to build grounding skills. Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy are part of how she helps people set and reach concrete goals.
Sessions tend to focus on everyday struggles and concrete steps. People can expect conversations about patterns that keep them stuck and skills to manage mood, worry, or relationship strain. Ayana talks through coping strategies, routines, and small behavioral changes that fit into daily life.
Her background as an LCSW and a Clinical Social Worker (CSW) informs a practical, strengths-oriented approach. She brings three years of experience working with stress-related and mood concerns. Ayana also offers care around body image, communication and commitment issues, forgiveness, and living with HIV/AIDS.
She conducts sessions in English and does not take international clients. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
BHow sessions work
How Ayana’s approaches translate to online work
Ayana uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT sessions often include practical exercises, behavior experiments, and simple homework tasks to practice between meetings. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, and mood patterns.She also employs mindfulness practices to bring attention to the present moment and reduce rumination. Mindfulness exercises in sessions are short and concrete, such as breathing techniques or brief grounding practices that can be repeated during stressful moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, mindfulness, or solution-focused steps and adjusting the plan as progress is tracked.
Session format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a full in-person session would be harder to arrange. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting to keep work practical and usable in daily life.
