About Alayna
Alayna Abeyta is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado who aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable. She speaks plainly and listens closely to what a person says is most important. Her style is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical ways to make day-to-day life easier.
She uses client-centered work to meet people where they are. That means sessions are shaped around each person’s goals and preferences.
Background and approach
She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, helping people notice patterns of thought and try different actions that can reduce distress. Alayna brings eight years of professional experience to common concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. She also assists with grief, addiction-related struggles, anger, sleep problems, low self-esteem, and major life changes.
Her approach is to create clear next steps rather than vague plans. Beyond core concerns, she supports people facing caregiver stress, first responder issues, and coping after disasters. She also addresses relationship and communication problems, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and challenges such as social anxiety or self-harm thoughts when they arise.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Alayna works with each person to set realistic short-term goals and simple strategies to practice between meetings. She invites clients to adjust the pace as needed and to bring whatever feels most urgent to the room.
How Alayna’s Approaches Work Online
Alayna uses client-centered therapy to shape sessions around what each person finds most important. In this approach she follows the client’s lead, asks questions to clarify goals, and adjusts the conversation to fit present needs. This method helps when someone wants practical solutions that fit their life.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and patterns that keep someone stuck. Sessions often include short exercises and homework to try between meetings so progress feels concrete.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alayna treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will review what’s helping and what isn’t. Together she and the client will tailor goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text sessions can work well for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain consistent contact with a licensed professional.
