About Alayna

Alayna Abeyta is a Colorado-licensed LPC with eight years of clinical experience working with people facing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. She focuses on helping clients manage stress and anxiety, work through grief and loss, address addictions, and navigate anger and life transitions.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion as she collaborates with each person to develop practical strategies that fit their situation. Alayna combines client-centered principles with cognitive behavioral techniques to tailor conversations and treatment plans to individual needs.

This blend allows her to attend closely to a client’s lived experience while introducing concrete tools for coping, mood regulation, and behavior change. She also brings experience addressing concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar disorder, depression, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and other focused areas.

Clients can expect a supportive environment where their goals guide the work and options are adapted over time. Alayna encourages taking the first step toward help and offers multiple formats for ongoing work to fit different schedules and preferences.

Integrating evidence-based approaches in online care

Alayna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behavior; this approach is often applied to anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and addiction-related patterns by breaking problems into manageable steps and developing coping skills.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship and prioritizes the client’s perspective; this approach supports self-awareness, emotional processing, and collaborative goal-setting. Together these approaches allow for practical skill building alongside empathic support during difficult transitions or losses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Alayna frames treatment as collaborative: she listens to a client’s goals and preferences, experiments with strategies, and adjusts the plan over time to fit what helps most. This cooperative process aims to match techniques to individual needs rather than prescribing a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy with Alayna is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options support flexible scheduling and allow clients to choose the communication style that feels most accessible for their circumstances.
