About Alayna
Alayna Bryant is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 15 years of experience working in behavioral health and co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, relationship and family concerns, trauma and grief, and related issues. Her work integrates several evidence-based approaches to address practical problems people bring to sessions.
She uses person-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and mindfulness practices to help people clarify values and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox when they match a client’s needs.
Sessions typically involve setting concrete goals, practicing new coping skills, and reviewing progress between meetings. Alayna helps people work through shame, anger, complicated grief, and patterns that interfere with daily life. She also supports people facing parenting stress, career changes, intimacy issues, and identity questions.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She and the client assess what works and adjust tools over time. People can expect straightforward skill-building, emotion regulation techniques, and mindfulness exercises when appropriate.
Alayna works with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds. She offers services in English and accepts international clients. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to schedule an initial session and plan next steps.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that reflect those values, while learning to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and stress through practical exercises and homework. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and improve emotion regulation during stressful times.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying a CBT skill for a few sessions, then using ACT or mindfulness if those tools fit better. The plan is adapted based on what the person reports and what shows progress.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. If video is difficult, therapists and clients often agree on phone check-ins or focused phone sessions for brief updates or when bandwidth is limited. Discuss formats during the matching process to plan how sessions will fit into daily life.
