Alicia GrayLMFT

Alicia Gray is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. Alicia emphasizes respect and sensitivity in sessions and aims to create a calm, straightforward space for discussion.

Her approach is collaborative and personalized. She tailors conversations and care plans to each person's situation instead of offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions typically focus on skills you can use between meetings, clearer thinking about problems, and steps to manage intense emotions.

Alicia uses a mix of approaches that match what a person needs in the moment. That can mean practicing coping skills, working on communication patterns, or looking at the meaning people make from life events. She also brings mindfulness practices into sessions to help with emotional regulation and present-moment noticing.

Many people come for help with relationship strain, panic or mood problems, questions about life purpose, or the stresses that surround pregnancy and childbirth. Alicia also works with multicultural concerns and supports women and young adults as they navigate change. Her style is steady and encouraging, aimed at helping people feel more capable.

To begin, Alicia asks about goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. From there she and the client shape a plan with clear, manageable steps and regular check-ins on progress.

How Alicia's approaches translate to online therapy

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical steps to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, mood issues, and panic symptoms. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, focuses on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal skills to handle intense feelings and relationship stress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the initial work. Alicia treats the choice of methods as collaborative and checks in about what feels most helpful. Together she and the client decide whether to emphasize skill-building, reflective exploration, or mindfulness exercises based on goals and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, shorten check-ins when time is limited, or avoid travel on a workday. It also lets people continue care through life transitions such as pregnancy and childbirth without rearranging as many logistics. Ask about session length and scheduling options when you complete the matching questionnaire to find a setup that fits your routine.
