Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Tayona Fraylon is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strain, grief, eating concerns, anger, depression, stress, anxiety, and related challenges. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps the client can use between meetings.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify personal values and build small, value-driven actions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are part of her toolkit for managing intense emotions in the moment.

Tayona frames therapy as a collaborative process. She and the client set goals and try approaches that feel manageable. She adapts the conversation and plan as progress and setbacks appear, keeping tasks concrete and achievable.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, and problems connected to identity and intimacy. She also supports people dealing with sleeping problems, parenting strain, body image issues, and co-occurring health conditions. These areas are approached with practical exercises and evidence-informed methods.

For people who struggle with social situations or phobia-related anxiety, she offers focused strategies to reduce avoidance and increase engagement. Recommendations often include behavioral experiments, exposure practice, and skills to manage worry and physical arousal.

To start, a prospective client is asked to complete an intake step and schedule an initial appointment. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.
