About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina with five years of experience. She works with adults on relationship troubles, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions among other issues. She also addresses codependency and intimacy-related struggles that often show up when someone keeps putting others first.
Her approach draws on practical, evidence-based tools like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused methods. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that leave a person feeling drained or out of control. Tayona helps people notice thoughts and behaviors, test new ways of reacting, and practice small changes between sessions.
People who have experienced loss, trauma, or chronic stress may work on grounding skills, managing intense emotions, and rebuilding daily routines. Those facing body image, eating, or substance concerns work toward clearer values and steadier coping strategies. She also addresses attachment and abandonment themes that can underlie people-pleasing or boundary problems.
Tayona uses straightforward conversation and concrete exercises. She asks practical questions about what is working and what isn’t. Expect goal-focused sessions that include skills practice, behavioral experiments, and reflective discussion.
To begin, she asks clients to describe current struggles and what they want to change. From there she and the client set short-term steps to try between meetings and check progress regularly.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting driven by them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns like people-pleasing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns seen in depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions, building distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Tayona will talk with clients about symptoms, goals, and what styles feel most useful. Together they pick techniques to try and check how those techniques fit into daily life, adjusting the plan as needed.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week by avoiding travel and making it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or evening appointments. They also let people practice skills where problems happen, such as rerouting reactions during a stressful call or testing a new boundary in real time. Licensed professionals often use online work to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday change.
