About Alicia
Alicia Gray is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, depression, and major life changes. Sessions are conducted in English and focus on practical steps clients can use day to day.
Alicia structures sessions so people can notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other approaches to identify patterns that keep problems going. The conversations are direct and focused on what someone wants to change next week or next month.
Her work often addresses communication problems, mood disorders, panic attacks, and the stresses around pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people dealing with questions about life purpose, self-love, women's issues, multicultural concerns, and challenges common to young adults. These are discussed in clear, concrete terms so clients can try new coping strategies between meetings.
Alicia favors practical skill-building such as behavioral experiments, thought records, and mindfulness exercises. She also uses ideas from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Existential Therapy to help people tolerate strong emotions and clarify personal values. Sessions include review of progress and adjustments to plans as needed.
Clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before the first appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not accepted.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on identifying and testing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In short sessions people learn to track thoughts, run small behavioral experiments, and practice new responses to anxiety or low mood. This approach suits concerns like panic attacks, anxiety, and mood problems.DBT offers skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It teaches techniques like emotion regulation and distress tolerance that can be practiced between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve communication.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose which techniques fit their goals and day-to-day routine. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what is not.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting appointments around work or childcare, shorter check-ins when needed, and being able to use tools like on-screen worksheets or guided mindfulness while in a familiar setting. These conveniences help make regular practice and skill-building more manageable.
