Alicia Gray

Alicia Gray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief and depression. Alicia also supports people coping with life changes and questions about life purpose.

She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations include skills for managing anxiety and mood, ways to improve communication, and strategies for coping after loss.

Alicia uses a mix of methods to match what clients need. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build different habits. Dialectical Behavior techniques are used for emotion regulation and tolerating distress. Mindfulness strategies help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them.

She also brings existential ideas into conversations about meaning and direction. That can help when major life changes leave someone wondering what comes next. Therapy combines short-term skills with time to reflect on values and priorities.

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Alicia helps people set practical action steps between visits and checks in on progress. To begin, users follow the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that keep problems going and practicing new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, panic, and low mood by setting small experiments and learning clearer ways to respond.

DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes skills for managing intense emotions and reducing panic. It teaches concrete techniques for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and clearer interpersonal communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Alicia will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. She treats approach selection as a collaborative decision and adjusts methods based on how things are going.

Confirm the therapist's current session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people incorporate sessions into work breaks or between other responsibilities without promising a particular service.
