She focuses on practical strategies to help people manage anxiety, depression, relationship stress, and changes that feel overwhelming.

Background and approach

Tayona tailors sessions to each person's situation instead of delivering the same plan to everyone. Her work covers a broad range of concerns including grief, eating and body image issues, anger, addictions, intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, and parenting strain. She also addresses trauma and abuse, attachment and abandonment worries, caregiver stress, and co-occurring challenges that complicate recovery.

Tayona draws from approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused work to match techniques to a client's needs. She blends practical skills with attention to values and coping strategies for intense emotions. With five years of professional experience, Tayona focuses on helping people build steady habits and clearer choices.

She supports clients who want to reduce distress, get unstuck from repetitive patterns, and move toward goals that matter to them.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being ruled by them and clarify what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions to help you choose actions that reflect your values. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems like anxiety and depression going. It usually involves practical homework and simple experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan so the work fits daily life and feels useful rather than overwhelming.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skills practice. Phone sessions are lower bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and text are useful for short check-ins, tracking progress, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family commitments.
