About Alayna

Alayna Abeyta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado who focuses on practical help for everyday struggles. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, and other life shifts. Alayna aims to meet clients where they are and treat each person with respect and compassion.

She emphasizes clear, direct conversation to begin making small changes that feel manageable. Alayna draws on eight years of professional experience to shape treatment plans around each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen closely and make space for what matters to the client. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth.

Alayna works with clients to set realistic goals and try steps that can fit into daily life. She tailors the pace and techniques based on how someone responds rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes work across a range of concerns such as relationship and family stresses, trauma and abuse, sleep problems, self-esteem, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar.

She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, substance use, first responder issues, and end-of-life matters. Alayna communicates in English and provides care through several online formats. She encourages people to take the first step and offers straightforward guidance on how to begin therapy.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Alayna uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-first space where the client’s priorities guide each session. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and clear attention to what feels most pressing in their life.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. CBT is practical for anxiety, mood concerns, sleep problems, and coping with addictive patterns because it breaks issues into manageable steps.

Finding the best fit is a collaborative process. The therapist will check in about goals, preferences, and what methods feel comfortable. Together they adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to a single method from the start.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to continue work between appointments, try brief check-ins, or use messaging for quick coaching. For many people, that range of choices helps therapy fit into a busy life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
