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 who are struggling with anger, depression, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and related concerns. Tayona uses clear conversation and practical skills to address problems people bring to therapy.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build actions that matter. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are offered for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, and trauma-focused approaches are used when past events continue to affect daily life.

In sessions she talks through current problems, teaches evidence-informed skills, and practices new ways to respond to stress. Work can include identifying triggers for anger, building healthier reactions, addressing sleep or eating difficulties, and coping with major life changes.

Tayona also supports people facing issues tied to identity and relationships, including LGBT concerns, family stress, and intimacy-related problems. She lists additional focus areas such as abandonment, attachment issues, chronic illness, dissociation, and domestic violence among the topics she has worked with.

Practical matters such as cost vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Tayona blends CBT, ACT and DBT skills online

Many clients work on anger by learning practical skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot thoughts that fuel anger and test those thoughts with concrete experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying what matters and taking small actions consistent with those values even when strong feelings appear. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers short, teachable skills for regulating emotions and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Finding the right blend is collaborative. Tayona will discuss goals and try approaches that fit the client's situation and preferences. Together they decide which skills to practice between sessions and how to adapt techniques for everyday life.

The exact session formats are not listed in her biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family routines, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises for remote work, for example using shorter check-ins, skill practice during sessions, or framing homework that works with a person's daily schedule.
