About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Bosley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 17 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, LGBTQ issues, depression, self-esteem struggles, parenting questions, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than labels.
Her background includes work with relationship problems and diverse identities. She draws on narrative approaches to help people tell and reframe their stories. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) appears alongside her other methods when thinking patterns are a target.
In a typical session she helps a person notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person. When couples or relationship skills are involved, she uses elements of the Gottman Method to address communication and conflict patterns.
She addresses sensitive sexual topics including BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture without judgment. She also helps people navigate blended family issues, fatherhood questions, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship concerns. Work with grief, career changes, and confusion about life purpose is part of her practice as well.
Her process is collaborative. People set practical goals, try new responses, and check what works. Sessions are structured and goal-oriented, with options to use mindfulness and narrative exercises as tools to shift patterns over time.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can clarify their own goals; it helps when someone wants conversational, person-led work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses short exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, sleep, and mood. The Gottman Method concentrates on practical communication and conflict skills for relationship concerns and teaches specific behaviors to practice between sessions.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to pick approaches that fit their goals and preferences. That choice is revisited as work continues so techniques can be adjusted based on what helps most.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know which remote formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits help people maintain consistency while working on thinking patterns, communication skills, and behavior changes.
