About Alayna
Alayna Abeyta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and loss, and anger. She also supports people facing relationship strain, sleep difficulties, self-esteem concerns, and challenges common in young adulthood.
Alayna uses client-centered methods to create a conversational, respectful space. She pairs that with cognitive behavioral techniques when someone wants structured tools for thinking and behavior. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways to manage emotions and daily demands.
In early meetings she listens for what matters most to the person in front of her. Together they set short-term goals and realistic actions. She checks in on what works, then adjusts the plan as needed.
Her background includes work across addiction, grief, and mood concerns, and helping people manage life transitions and caregiver stress. This experience informs straightforward strategies for coping and communication.
Alayna encourages people to try small experiments between sessions, such as sleep routines or thought-record exercises. These are used to test what helps and to build momentum. Her approach aims to make progress practical and measurable.
People who reach out can expect clear, plain language and a focus on daily functioning. She helps people break down overwhelming problems into specific next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding. It involves the therapist reflecting what the client says and prioritizing the person's own goals. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to clarify what they want to change.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers tools to change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It uses small experiments, thought records, and behavioral tasks to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood symptoms. CBT is useful when a person wants practical skills they can apply between sessions.
Choosing the right method is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach or combination fits your needs, goals, and personal preferences. That choice can change over time based on what proves helpful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a lunch break, fewer travel demands, or the ability to continue care after a move. Licensed professionals often use online sessions to maintain continuity and adapt scheduling to daily responsibilities.
