Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Tayona Fraylon is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief and loss, eating concerns, anger, depression, anxiety, and life transitions. Tayona aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She focuses on practical conversations that help people take the first steps toward change.

She draws on several well-known therapeutic approaches to shape sessions around what each person needs. That can mean learning new ways to respond to strong emotions, building routines that support sleep and self-care, or addressing patterns that keep problems repeating. Sessions emphasize gradual, achievable changes rather than sudden fixes.

Her background includes five years of clinical experience and work with a broad range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain, and bipolar disorder. She also helps with abandonment issues, attachment struggles, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, dissociation, and domestic violence recovery.

Tayona adapts the plan to match a client's goals and pace. She listens for what matters most, then offers tools from approaches like cognitive behavioral work, acceptance strategies, and skills training. The goal is reliable steps a person can use between sessions.

People who choose Tayona can expect a respectful, straightforward style and a focus on practical skills. She supports clients as they work through setbacks and build new ways of coping with life changes and ongoing challenges.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in service of those values. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and building a life that reflects personal priorities.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is about spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with actions. It often includes step-by-step behavior changes, mood tracking, and skill-building to reduce anxiety, depression, or eating-related patterns.

Finding the right approach usually happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, habits, and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she recommends strategies and adjusts the plan as progress is made so the work matches the client’s needs and preferences.

Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use these options to focus on skill practice, behavior experiments, and steady support as clients work toward clearer goals.
