About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in North Carolina. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, grief, anxiety, depression, and struggles with eating and anger. Tayona aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can begin making small changes that matter.
She uses practical, evidence-informed methods. Sessions focus on skills people can try between meetings, like noticing unhelpful thoughts, tending to strong emotions, and choosing values-based actions.
How Tayona works
Tayona adapts the pace and tools to each person's situation rather than applying the same plan to everyone. Her work also covers trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, and self-esteem. She assists people facing complex life shifts such as caregiver strain, chronic illness, adoption and foster care concerns, and codependency.
These topics are approached with sensitivity and straightforward problem-solving. Tayona draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Each approach is used to match the issue at hand and the person's goals.
She blends ideas so sessions stay practical and focused on real steps. With five years of experience, Tayona offers video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging sessions. Communication and collaboration guide the plan so people leave sessions with clear next steps and a sense of progress.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on skills and values
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It often helps with depression, anxiety, and problems like unhealthy eating behaviors.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Tayona will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust the plan over time. Sessions include concrete exercises and homework so people can see what works between appointments.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent touchpoints for ongoing support and skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or daily routines.
