Jamayla Gray , LPCC

Jamayla Gray is a licensed professional clinical counselor in California. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. Jamayla aims to help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues related to self-esteem and motivation.

She builds an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. Conversations center on what matters most to the client and on small, manageable steps toward change. Jamayla uses familiar, goal-oriented methods to help people reduce distress and try different ways of coping.

Her work includes supporting people through grief, trauma, stress, sleep and eating concerns, and the emotional strain of caregiving and chronic illness. She also addresses career stress, ADHD, bipolar mood challenges, and compassion fatigue. Jamayla pays attention to how attachment and past relationships shape current patterns.

Jamayla draws from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. She adapts these methods to each person’s needs and preferences. Sessions are practical and focused on everyday changes that add up over time.

Jamayla works thoughtfully with issues that commonly affect women and supports people navigating identity and LGBT concerns. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Work is held via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Jamayla commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then pick actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.

She also draws on Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how close relationships and attachment patterns shape emotions and interaction. These approaches can help people who struggle with intimacy, communication, or repeating painful relationship patterns. Choosing the best mix of methods is a shared process - she will work with clients to decide what fits their goals, values, and day-to-day needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins that can fit into a busy schedule. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, family, and travel commitments.
