About Alicia

Alicia Gray is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, depression, and life transitions by shaping conversations and plans around each person’s situation.

Background and approach

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring interventions to meet practical goals and everyday challenges. She draws on evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside complementary practices such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, existential thinking, and mindfulness techniques to address mood and coping concerns.

Alicia aims to empower clients to build skills for communication, manage panic or intense emotions, explore life purpose, and strengthen self-regard. Her practice also attends to multicultural concerns, pregnancy and childbirth issues, and a range of women’s and young adult matters.

Alicia encourages clients who are ready to take the first step toward change and offers collaborative support as they work toward greater wellbeing. Sessions are framed to fit each client’s pace and preferences, with an emphasis on practical strategies and compassionate partnership.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a goal-focused approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management through practical exercises and skill-building. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers strategies for regulating intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, combining acceptance and change techniques to support coping during emotional distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Alicia works together with clients to explore which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time based on progress and feedback. That collaboration helps ensure therapy feels relevant and usable in daily life.

Online sessions can be held by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to access help from different locations within California. These formats support ongoing skill practice, short check-ins, and flexible scheduling so clients can engage in meaningful work without disrupting other commitments.
