Jamayla Gray, LPCC

Jamayla Gray is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with six years of clinical experience. She creates a welcoming space where people can talk about difficult feelings and start practical steps toward change. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people find clearer direction in stressful times.

Jamayla focuses on a wide range of concerns including addictions, LGBTQ issues, intimacy and relationship difficulties, depression, anxiety, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career stress, attention challenges like ADHD, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. Her work includes attention to patterns that affect how people connect with others, such as attachment issues and communication problems.

In sessions she emphasizes listening first and then working together on short-term, doable goals. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice what matters to them and take helpful action. Jamayla aims to translate therapeutic ideas into clear steps clients can try between sessions.

Her approach is collaborative - she checks in about what feels useful and adjusts the work as needed. People who come when they are stuck or facing big transitions often leave with more clarity and small plans they can follow. Jamayla also welcomes those who want coaching-style support to improve motivation, boundaries, and daily routines.

She conducts her practice in English and accepts international clients. To begin, she asks people to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their timing.

How these approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice their thoughts and values, then take small actions that align with what matters. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with sleep, mood, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions shape relationships and helps people change patterns that keep them stuck, which can support intimacy and communication work.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences, then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made so people get practical tools that match their life and needs.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. It can also let people choose quieter times, use shorter sessions when needed, or avoid being on camera when that helps them engage. Licensed professionals tailor the pacing and tools so the work stays practical and focused regardless of how sessions are delivered.
