About Alicia
Alicia Gray is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 14 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, and major life changes. Alicia also focuses on communication problems, life purpose questions, mood disorders, multicultural concerns, panic attacks, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, self-love, women’s issues, and challenges common to young adults.
Alicia uses conversational, goal-focused work to help people clarify what matters right now. Sessions are practical and grounded. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, existential ideas, and mindfulness techniques to guide conversations and practice new coping skills.
In early sessions Alicia typically helps identify the most urgent concerns and sets small, manageable goals. She blends thought-focused work with skills for emotion regulation and present-moment awareness. That combination can be useful for easing panic symptoms, improving communication, or managing low mood.
Alicia pays attention to cultural background and how it shapes choices and stress. She helps people talk through role expectations, identity questions, and the strain that life transitions bring. Her approach aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming.
Practical tasks, simple behavioral experiments, and short between-session exercises are often part of the work. Prospective clients begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session to see how the fit feels.
How her approaches translate to online work
Alicia commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments. That approach can help with anxiety, low mood, and making concrete changes in day-to-day routines. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. Early sessions are used to see what helps and to adjust the plan as needed, so the approach can shift over time if something else fits better.
The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into work, childcare, or busy schedules because they remove travel time and can be scheduled during short breaks. Online work can also make it simpler to use brief check-ins and to practice skills between sessions as part of everyday life.
