Alayna Abeyta, LPC

Alayna Abeyta is a licensed professional counselor in Colorado with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, depression, and other life changes. Her style is warm and respectful and she aims to make first steps feel manageable for worried parents and busy adults.

She focuses on practical conversation and tailored plans. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals. That might mean working on coping skills for anxiety, strategies for managing urges in addiction, or tools to improve sleep and self-esteem.

Alayna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which links thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help make small, useful changes. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which keeps the person's experience and choices at the center of care.

Her background includes eight years of hands-on work helping people navigate relationship strains, trauma and abuse, career stress, and caregiver burden. She also supports concerns like bipolar disorder, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and issues tied to end-of-life care.

Sessions and plans are tailored. Alayna listens first, then offers options that fit each person's life. She encourages steady steps rather than quick fixes, and works to make therapy a practical part of daily life.

How Alayna’s approaches translate to online therapy

Alayna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and then builds concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing addictive urges. Client-centered therapy emphasizes hearing the person's experiences and following their lead; it helps when someone needs a calm, nonjudgmental space to make decisions and process emotion.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Alayna will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That process is collaborative and can change as needs shift over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a better fit when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can work for brief check-ins or when journaling in the moment is helpful. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or caregiving responsibilities while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
