Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor who focuses on helping people manage strong emotions and life disruptions. She uses direct, practical conversation to address relationship problems, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, and issues related to trauma and abuse. Tayona emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.

With five years of clinical experience, she adapts her approach to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She works with people on intimacy-related concerns, sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, self-esteem, and coping with major life changes. She also supports those facing complex challenges such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, or co-occurring conditions.

Tayona draws from several evidence-informed approaches to shape sessions. She uses acceptance and commitment techniques to help people clarify values and take meaningful action. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills. Elements of dialectical behavior therapy and trauma-focused care are added when emotion regulation and trauma processing are needed.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Tayona listens first, then suggests practical tools that can be tried between meetings. She checks in on what’s working and adjusts plans as needs change.

People who choose her often want clear steps and compassionate support through difficult transitions. Tayona aims to empower clients to make sustainable changes that fit their daily lives.

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name what matters most and take small actions that line up with those values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or uncertain about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to change mood and stress levels, which helps with anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try methods that fit your goals, and adjust as you see what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to find the best mix of skills, coping strategies, and discussion that feels useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family schedules and to check in more often when needed. Confirm the available session options before booking so you know which formats are offered for meetings.
