About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of experience. She works with adults on relationship problems, grief and loss, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, LGBT issues, and trauma-related concerns. Tayona also addresses intimacy-related struggles, sleep problems, parenting stress, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions.
She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, practice skills for emotion regulation, and identify values that guide next steps. The work is practical and conversational rather than academic.
Tayona also supports people with specific attachment and family-related concerns like abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, blended family stress, and caregiver strain. She addresses body image, codependency, dissociation, and the effects of domestic violence when they come up in a person’s life. These topics are woven into regular therapy sessions rather than treated as separate modules.
Her style centers on clear goals, skills practice, and short-term plans when those fit a person's needs. Sessions often include behavioral experiments, thought work, and mindfulness or distress-tolerance skills from DBT. Tayona works with clients to set realistic steps and to track small changes over time.
People who seek her help usually want direct tools for managing strong emotions, repairing important relationships, or coping with major losses. She conducts sessions in English and is based in North Carolina. To confirm current session options, readers should check the provider’s booking information before scheduling.
How Tayona uses ACT, CBT and DBT for online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match what matters to you. It helps with guilt, shame, avoidance, and decisions where values feel unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that help when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tayona will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She might use a mix of ACT, CBT, and DBT skills across sessions and will check in to adjust the plan together.
