About Tayona
Tayona Fraylon is a licensed clinical mental health counselor in North Carolina. She draws on practical, skills-based therapy to help people manage intense emotions and life stress. Her style is direct and respectful, focused on small steps that feel achievable.
Tayona has five years of experience working with concerns such as anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing addictions, sleep problems, parenting stress, and challenges tied to chronic illness.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with trauma and abuse matters and related symptoms like dissociation. In sessions she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That means clients practice new skills, learn to notice unhelpful thoughts, and try values-based actions between meetings.
She adapts methods to match each person's goals rather than following a single script. Tayona emphasizes a calm, nonjudgmental tone. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person’s needs.
People meet practical tools in session and simple ways to test out changes in everyday life. Her work is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Tayona encourages clients who want clearer coping strategies or steadier mood to take a first step toward change and growth.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT translate to online care
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 when someone wants less reactivity to strong emotions and more meaningful day-to-day direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or anger. It teaches practical techniques for changing what people do and think between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers skills for regulating intense emotions, managing distress, and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is often used when emotions feel overwhelming.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tayona will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what has helped in the past, set concrete goals, and try approaches for a few sessions to see what feels most useful.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexibility for different needs. Video lets people work face-to-face when schedules allow. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, skill practice, or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life and to practice new skills between meetings.
