Ayanna Sidle, LPC, LPCC

Ayanna Sidle is a licensed professional counselor who centers her work on building trusting relationships. She emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, career concerns, and depression. Ayanna frames therapy as a collaborative process and supports each person as they take steps toward change.

She brings 10 years of clinical experience to sessions and honors each person’s pace. Her style is open and supportive, focused on listening first and then working together to set realistic goals. She encourages small, practical steps that add up over time.

Ayanna uses approaches that help with thinking patterns and day-to-day coping. She draws on client-centered work to follow what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Mindfulness strategies help people develop calmer responses to strong emotions and to reduce reactivity. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs to strengthen motivation for change. Narrative techniques help reframe personal stories and find different meanings in life events.

Therapy with Ayanna aims to be straightforward and goal-focused while keeping the person’s values in view. She supports clients through practical problem solving, emotional processing, and skill building. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.
