Ayana Lewis, LCSW, CSW - Therapist in Georgia

About Ayana

Ayana Lewis is a licensed clinical social worker who combines practical tools with a warm, person-focused style. She is LCSW, CSW and practices in Georgia. Ayana uses clear steps and short-term strategies to address stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and change behaviors. Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple grounding and present-moment skills. Solution-Focused Therapy helps set small, achievable goals that fit daily life.

Background and approach

Ayana also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a calm, respectful space where a person’s goals guide the work. Motivational Interviewing may be added when clients want to resolve ambivalence and move toward meaningful change. These approaches are blended to match each person’s needs rather than using one fixed method.

With three years of experience, she supports people working through relationship strain, grief, self-esteem struggles, intimacy concerns, and issues around coping with life changes. Other areas she addresses include body image, communication and commitment issues, compassion fatigue, and mood disorders such as seasonal affective disorder. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Ayana’s practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Ayana commonly blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help people manage thoughts and emotions. CBT looks at how thinking patterns influence feelings and behaviors, then teaches practical strategies to change those patterns. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on simple exercises that build awareness of the present moment and help with grounding during stress or anxiety.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set small, achievable goals and to highlight strengths that support progress. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Ayana works with each person to decide which methods match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats allow for flexible scheduling, shorter touchpoints when needed, and consistent support across different settings. For many people, remote options make it easier to practice new skills between sessions and to maintain momentum toward their goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
