More about Alayna
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a licensed professional counselor (LPC-S) with 10 years of counseling and training experience, licensed in Mississippi. I have experience helping adults, couples, and families, from diverse backgrounds and with a wide variety of problems. However, the focus of my work is behavioral health and co-occurring mental health concerns and substance use problems. I am trained in a myriad of evidenced based techniques and adapt my approach to fit the needs of the individual with whom I am working. My passion is helping a person attain their personal goals and improve their quality of life. I tend to integrate person centered approaches, motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioral treatment, acceptance and commitment treatment, mindfulness practices, and meditation to achieve a tailored set of interventions for achieving significant and sustainable change. I am skilled in helping with mood problems, anxiety , relationship concerns, addictions, trauma and abuse, phase of life problems, vocational concerns, identity issues, and personality disorders. Together we may: 1) identify and challenge negative patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving; 2) learn to let go of shame, guilt, & anger associated with trauma or complicated grief; 3) replace old patterns with new patterns through developing healthy self-care practices; 4) cultivate a personal sense of purpose and connection to self and others. I strive to provide a safe and affirming environment for a person to explore and process their concerns.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is amazing!
Alayna has basically saved my life.
Alayna and I established a rapport almost immediately. I found her very easy to open up to early on which is sort of a different from some past experiences in therapy for me. She’s a great listener, a skilled clinician, and has a wide range of therapeutic tools in her arsenal. She’s really a great fit for me and I’d highly recommend her.
I would recommend booking a therapy session with Alayna Bryant. She is great.
I am very pleased with Alayna and how well she has taken care of listening to me. I like how much she helps me look at things from a different perspective!
Alayna has been amazing. I don't know where I'd be without her support
She is very professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to.
I am so grateful for Alayna. She is fantastic. She remembers details I tell her. She is kind and compassionate. I'm making real progress and have never had such a successful experience in counselling before. I can not recommend her enough. She is the best.
One year and four months ago, I was lost and hopeless. I was in severe emotional distress. I felt like I was drowning and desperately reached for help. Alayna caught my hand, got me back onto solid ground. Through my past and present she shone a new light: kind, compassionate and realistic. Her therapeutic approach helped me a lot. I wholeheartedly recommend her.
Alayna is great! She listens and offers excellent advice. I appreciate that she always reaches out to check on me and shows that she cares. I enjoy our conversation, and I can see the effort she puts in.
Alayna is amazing and so supportive. She has a ton of knowledge and different tools and methods for helping on short and long term issues. She is incredibly compassionate and understanding. I would absolutely recommend her.
Alayna is amazing and has helped me so much already
Alayna makes me feel heard and comfortable to share my feelings. She is supportive.and remembers details I share with her. I would highly recommend her to anyone. She has tons of helpful resources and truly cares about my progress.
After trying many therapists, I am happy to have found Alayna. She is very professional while maintaining a supportive and constructive attitude. In two sessions she has already helped me identify, and helped me build a plan for some areas of improvements. She is a joy. Highly recommend
Alayna is the best, it feels like I am talking to a friend when I talk to her but she has meaningful insight and advice
Alayna is a wonderful counsellor. She is a great listener & always has something insightful to say. I very much appreciate my weekly talks with her. She offers me resources that I find very helpful and her approach is gentle and compassionate but she still emphasizes accountability. I absolutely recommend her
Even after my first session I felt very understood and supported by Alayna. She gave me tools to use and helped me find clarity.
Alayna gave me the advice and emotional support I needed when I couldn't cope with multiple sources of stress on my own.
She is a great help in all things. Big or small, I’ve always been able to work through everything and so far the advice given has worked immediately for me. Her techniques and suggestions are easy to pick up and she makes things easy to understand.
Alayna is absolutely amazing. Wpuld highly recommended her to anyone. So grateful for her, she is knowledgeable and extremely kind.
I am thankful that I met Alayna through this app. She helped me greatly to identify, accept and overcome my struggles. This counsellor supported me in times when I lost all hope. I warmly recommend her.
I’ve worked with a few different therapists throughout my life, and Alayna is by far my favorite. She’s kind, respectful, an amazing listener, and makes it feel effortless to open up. I’ve noticed more progress in a couple sessions with her than I did in months of therapy with other counselors. I’m so happy I found her!
Alayna works with me in a way that makes me feel supported. She helps me break down the my anxious thoughts and find ways to restructure my thinking, so I can be more successful in my daily life.
Alayna is a great and effective counselor. She supports me in my process.
Alayna is easy to talk to and makes me feel comfortable. My first thought on online therapy was that it wouldn’t work but she makes me feel understood, important and she very much does not make me feel judged. I would recommend her to everyone I know.
Lovely person to talk to with. She understands and supports nicely and have information which can help to deal with depression.
I've had a great experience with Alayna. It took a couple weeks for me to warm up to virtual counseling and the BetterHelp structure but once I did I've been finding it really beneficial. Alayna listens really well and helps convey thoughts that I have trouble understanding back to me in a concise and actionable way to allow me to reflect. She also listens to patterns of our conversations to help me understand some things I'm struggling with from a bigger picture. Alayna really let's you guide the sessions and supports you based on your expectations of the sessions.
Alayna is very understanding and her calm demeanor sets the tone for any session. She really listens and spends time thinking of ways she can help me uniquely. She’s a very warm and comforting person, it’s easy to share things with her.
The time I spent with Alayna was great!!! She’s very open and compassionate... She believed in me and supported me... She was able to help me navigate through all the mess around me... Thank you Alayna
Alayna is fantastic. She offers great advice and great supports. She listens to issues and provides great feedback. Very pleased with everything Alayna has offered me so far
