About Tayona

Tayona Fraylon is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who focuses on helping people move toward steadier wellbeing. She works with concerns such as relationship struggles, grief and loss, eating issues, anger, depression, anxiety, stress, and addictions. Tayona approaches therapy with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's situation.

Tayona draws on evidence-based methods to help people notice what matters and build useful skills. She combines approaches like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy when helpful. Trauma-focused methods are also part of her practice for addressing past harm.

Her practical focus includes intimacy-related issues, sleep struggles, parenting stress, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Tayona also supports clients dealing with bipolar symptoms, body image, and caregiver strain. She has experience with a wide range of relational and attachment concerns, including adoption and foster care related issues.

In sessions she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps. Conversations are shaped around the client's goals and everyday realities. She encourages small, steady changes rather than quick fixes.

Tayona has five years of professional experience as an LCMHC. She offers therapy in English and practices from North Carolina. To begin, she asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Tayona uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most and practice small actions that reflect those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Tayona will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and keeping contact consistent when life gets busy. Session options are not listed here, so confirm current session formats before booking. Online care can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice skills between meetings, helping therapy fit into everyday life without requiring major schedule changes.
