About Alayna

Alayna Abeyta is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, and changes in life. Her practice also addresses issues like sleep problems, self-esteem, relationship concerns, depression, bipolar mood concerns, and ADHD. She speaks English and works with people in Colorado.

Alayna uses straightforward conversation to identify what feels most urgent for a person. She draws on client-centered methods to focus on the person in front of her and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions are practical and aim to make everyday coping feel more manageable.

She often helps people who are dealing with caregiver stress, communication problems, or guilt and shame. She also works with those facing addiction, first responder stress, hospice and end-of-life concerns, or the aftermath of trauma and abuse. Young adults and women’s issues are among other recurring focuses.

Alayna frames therapy as a collaborative process. She and the client work together to set goals and try approaches that fit the person’s life. Progress is discussed openly and plans can be adjusted as needed.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect a person with a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Costs vary with location.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what the person says. It involves open conversation where the therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects back what matters most. This approach helps with relationship worries, feelings of loss, and stress that come from day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior. It uses clear exercises and skills to test beliefs and build different habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, anger, sleep problems, and mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of working together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client’s needs and preferences. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find that scheduling sessions around work, caregiving, or other daily demands makes it easier to keep regular appointments. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or sessions that do not require video if needed. Practical planning for timing and format is discussed during the first steps so therapy fits into everyday life.
