About Jamayla
Jamayla Gray is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in California. She brings six years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical steps people can try right away to feel better. Jamayla helps with anxiety, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, and the stress of life changes.
She creates an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about hard things. Conversations are straightforward and focused on what a person wants to change.
Background and approach
Jamayla listens and asks questions that help identify small, achievable goals. Her work draws on several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Those methods are used to untangle painful thoughts and to build habits that match a person’s values.
Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused techniques inform how she approaches relationship and intimacy issues. Jamayla also addresses practical concerns like sleep, eating, and workplace stress. She supports people navigating grief, trauma, caregiving strain, chronic illness, and questions around sexuality and identity.
Sessions often include skill building for coping, communication, and managing strong emotions. Sessions are offered in English and Jamayla accepts international clients. Her practice uses several formats for contact, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values even when hard thoughts or feelings show up. It is often used for anxiety, low motivation, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. It tends to be practical and skill-based, useful for sleep, eating, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past and present relationships shape current reactions and patterns, which can be helpful for intimacy and communication challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person’s needs and adjust course when something doesn’t feel useful. This collaborative process helps people find strategies that they can use between sessions.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit quick check-ins or support between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule regular work and to use therapy tools in real life.
