Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina who focuses on practical, goal-oriented care. She uses clear conversation and steady support to help people facing relationship struggles, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, and addictions. Tayona aims to meet people where they are and tailor each session to individual needs.

She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy to shape treatment. In sessions she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, practice new skills, and make small changes that add up. Work may include identifying values, changing thoughts that get in the way, building emotion regulation skills, or processing painful events.

Tayona has five years of experience working with adults across a range of issues. She speaks plainly and focuses on what will help in day-to-day life. Conversations are respectful and tuned to each person’s situation.

Her approach is collaborative: she and the client set goals together and adjust the plan as needs change. People who come to her often want concrete tools to manage mood, relationships, or addictive behaviors, and she helps translate those goals into manageable steps.

Overall, Tayona’s practice centers on practical strategies, steady support, and a nonjudgmental attitude to help people move toward a more balanced life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help people who feel stuck and want a clearer sense of purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going, teaching practical strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills that are useful when intense emotions or relationship conflicts get in the way.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tayona works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time so the work stays useful and manageable.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports using in-the-moment tools and worksheets during a session so skill practice can be directly linked to daily life. Ask about current session options when you schedule to make sure they match your needs.
