About Alayna
Alayna Abeyta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and address substance use concerns. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people feel understood and less overwhelmed.
Alayna shapes sessions around each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She listens to what matters most and then works with clients to set small, achievable goals.
Background and approach
Conversations often include learning skills for sleep, coping with grief, handling intense emotions like anger, and improving self-esteem. She uses client-centered methods to follow the client’s lead and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Those approaches are applied to issues such as depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and intimacy-related challenges.
Alayna also supports people facing caregiver stress, first responder issues, and the aftereffects of disasters. She can help with communication problems, career stress, and guilt or shame that follows loss or difficult decisions. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Alayna works with a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and will collaborate on a plan that fits a client’s schedule and goals.
How her approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s concerns. The therapist reflects what she hears, helps clarify priorities, and supports people as they choose their own goals. This style suits people who need a respectful space to talk and find direction.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. Sessions teach simple skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing strong emotions like anger.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that match those goals and the person’s preferences. Together they adjust the plan over time so techniques feel useful and realistic.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let people have focused face-to-face time without travel. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins, short skills practice, and flexibility for busy schedules. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, school, or caregiving routines.
