Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who uses practical, person-centered sessions to help people facing relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, and anxiety. She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tayona frames therapy as a collaborative effort and focuses on small, useful changes that fit everyday life.

She blends evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. Sessions are tailored to the client's goals and situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan. Tayona emphasizes building skills for managing stress, difficult emotions, and problems that get in the way of daily functioning.

People come to her for help with intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, parenting stress, addiction concerns, sleeping problems, and coping with major life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment issues, body image struggles, and chronic illness related stress.

In session Tayona often uses straightforward tools and exercises from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She tailors homework and practice to what will realistically fit into the client's routine. The focus is on practical steps that can lead to more consistency and relief.

With five years of clinical experience, Tayona emphasizes clear goals and steady progress. She encourages people to take the first step and offers a supportive, nonjudgmental setting to explore change.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with relationship strain, grief, and ongoing stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and sleep problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling difficult interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Tayona will talk with each person about goals and try methods that fit their needs and daily routine. She makes adjustments over time so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Confirm current session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific online formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills where they live and then discuss how those attempts went during the next session.
