About Alayna
Alayna Abeyta offers a calm, straightforward approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, or big life changes. She writes short, practical steps and listens carefully so each person feels heard. Her style is warm and respectful while focused on what helps in day-to-day life.
Alayna is a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC, practicing in Colorado with eight years of experience. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person's pace and concerns, and uses cognitive behavioral techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns.
How Alayna works
Sessions are shaped to match each person’s needs rather than a fixed formula. She helps people facing relationship strain, intimacy worries, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and career stress. She also works with people managing mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, and those coping with trauma, compassion fatigue, or caregiving strain.
Addiction and substance-related issues are included among her focus areas. Alayna believes therapy should be a collaborative effort. She will work with a person to build practical coping tools, set small goals, and track progress week to week.
Conversations are intended to be direct and useful, not full of jargon. People who prefer clear plans and down-to-earth conversation may find her approach helpful. She offers phone, video, live chat, and text-based messaging formats so people can match sessions to their schedules and comfort with technology.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following a person's lead. In online sessions this means the therapist asks open questions, reflects what she hears, and helps the person set the pace for discussion and goals. It is useful for people who need a respectful space to talk through stress, grief, or relationship concerns.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change thinking and behavior. Online CBT sessions include identifying unhelpful thoughts, learning coping strategies, and assigning small practice tasks between meetings. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing addictive urges.
Deciding on the right approach is a team effort. She will work with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and adjust the plan as things change. That collaborative process continues across sessions so goals stay relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone calls can fit a short break in the day or work better with limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging can support quick check-ins, journaling prompts, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options help people keep therapy consistent around work, caregiving, or travel.
