Tayona Fraylon, LCMHC

Using ACT, CBT, and DBT Skills Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice tough thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters. It focuses on values and practical actions that align with those values rather than getting stuck in unhelpful thought patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete exercises to change patterns that keep problems active. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers specific skills for handling intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors. These methods are useful for anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and relationship struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Tayona will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, DBT skills, or a trauma-focused path should guide sessions and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy here is offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
