Arianna Ayala

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

Hi! My name is Arianna, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified Substance Abuse Counselor. As a therapist I support individuals in becoming the best versions of themselves. I have worked with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, addiction, and are ultimately looking to live more full and authentic lives.

My approach to counseling is client centered. I believe everyone has the tools within themselves to resolve whatever challenges they are facing; my role is to guide you to look internally to find and develop them. Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I help make connections between what you think, how you feel, and how you behave. My process includes assisting you with finding solutions to problems and building on innate qualities and strengths.

My main objective is to help individuals develop healthier relationships with themselves and others and create the tools necessary to live the most fulfilling lives they can. Clients can expect to feel heard, seen, and supported in their journey to emotional and psychological wellness. If you are ready to take that step, I look forward to working with you!

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist online can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life changes, online therapy has been demonstrated to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit of online work is flexibility – individuals can connect in the way that best fits their needs, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. That flexibility often makes it easier to keep appointments and integrate therapy into a busy life. Licensed professionals deliver online treatment, and if a different therapeutic fit is desired, clients typically have the option to switch therapists. Overall, online therapy offers an accessible route to addressing everyday mental health concerns while fitting care into a practical routine.
