About Jamayla

Jamayla Gray is a California LPCC with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on concerns such as addictions, depression, anxiety, relationship and family issues, and anger. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, intimacy, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and life transitions.

Her approach blends several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful patterns and take small, practical steps toward change. Attachment-based work and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she addresses connection and trust in relationships.

Sessions are conversational and aimed at making problems feel more manageable. She listens for how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors link together, and then offers concrete strategies clients can try between meetings. She works with concerns related to ADHD, bipolar mood patterns, compassion fatigue, and career stress as well as more specific issues like body image, chronic illness, and caregiving strain.

Jamayla also works with people from LGBT communities and with those exploring nonstandard relationship or sexual cultures such as BDSM and kink. She attends to practical life demands and the impact they have on mood, coping, and close relationships.

People who start with her complete a brief intake and set goals together. Her practice accepts international clients and sessions are conducted in English. The first steps are to fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial meeting.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Jamayla uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as central tools. ACT helps people notice and accept thoughts and feelings while clarifying values and small, committed actions. CBT focuses on identifying thinking patterns and trying practical behavioral experiments to reduce reactivity and improve daily functioning.

She also draws on Attachment-Based ideas when relationships and trust are core concerns. That work looks at how early and current connection patterns shape reactions to conflict, closeness, and anger, and then explores concrete ways to repair or change those patterns together. Choosing which approaches to emphasize is collaborative and based on the client’s goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions.

The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel to an office. Licensed professionals can use these options to keep therapeutic work practical and consistent with day-to-day schedules.
