About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship concerns, grief, eating issues, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, and other life changes. Sessions focus on practical strategies and straightforward conversation to address current struggles.
Her work often centers on patterns that come from family of origin and attachment experiences. She helps people notice how early roles and expectations still influence relationships and self-image. That can include concerns about abandonment, blended family issues, parenting strain, or body image and self-esteem problems.
Tayona uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, coping with stress, and shifting unhelpful thinking. She also works on behavior changes that help with sleep, eating, and daily functioning.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She and the client set clear goals and try practical steps between sessions. Progress is checked regularly and plans are adjusted based on what helps.
Tayona practices in North Carolina and holds the credential LCMHC. Sessions are conducted in English. If someone wants to begin, they complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial appointment through the online options button.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Tayona draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in clear, practical ways. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts and feelings appear. That can help when old family expectations make it hard to choose new behaviors. CBT breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions to spot patterns and test new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and unhelpful eating habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on current goals and what has or has not helped before. Sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, practicing new skills during and between appointments, and checking progress together.
The specific online session formats available should be confirmed before booking. When arranging sessions, people often value the ability to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten a check-in when needed, or choose a session style that requires less bandwidth or no video. Discussing these practical options during the matching process helps tailor sessions to everyday life without promising a particular format.
