About Jamayla
Jamayla Gray is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with six years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with issues like addiction, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and questions around intimacy. Jamayla aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
She uses practical, straightforward methods drawn from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions often center on noticing thoughts and feelings, trying small behavior changes, and clarifying what matters most. That practical work is mixed with a warm, client-centered style that puts the person’s goals first. Jamayla also supports people coping with stress, grief, sleep or eating difficulties, ADHD concerns, and career or life transitions.
Parenting is listed among her focus areas, so she can help parents manage the strain of caregiving and everyday family challenges. She is experienced working with LGBTQ concerns and intimacy-related struggles as well. Her approach is collaborative: she listens first, then helps set clear, achievable steps.
Sessions may include problem-solving, communication practice, and skills to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Jamayla emphasizes small, steady changes that fit a person’s real life. She offers services in English and accepts international clients.
People who prefer online options can meet via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts while focusing on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a skills-based method that looks at how thoughts affect mood and behavior, and it often includes homework and short experiments to reduce symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jamayla will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with online formats. That process may involve trying a few techniques and adjusting based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and seeing body language. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can be used for check-ins, coaching-style support, or when someone prefers writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and geographic distance.
