About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Tayona also supports those processing trauma and abuse and people navigating life changes who are unsure what comes next.
She uses practical, skills-based approaches inside sessions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and on small steps a person can take between meetings. Tayona draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different behaviors. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy techniques when they fit the situation.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Tayona listens for repeated cycles that keep someone stuck, then works with them to test new ways of responding. This can include values clarification, behavioral experiments, and skill practice for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
She pays attention to practical barriers such as sleep disruption, body image worries, caregiver stress, and chronic health problems that affect daily life. Tayona can support people dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care history, and co-occurring conditions.
Her approach is straightforward and focused on making daily life more manageable. People who are questioning career direction, parenting choices, or their next steps after a big change may find her style useful for clarifying priorities and taking concrete action.
How Tayona’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for clients wrestling with life purpose, motivation, or uncertainty about the next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and running behavioral experiments to change mood and behavior. It suits issues like anxiety, depression, and sleep disruption.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tayona will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and circumstances. That choice can be revisited as needs change, and sessions combine skills practice, values work, and problem-solving exercises.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose whether to meet on video or use an alternative format if offered. These practical arrangements help integrate therapy into everyday routines without promising a particular service.
