Jamayla Gray, LPCC

Jamayla Gray is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in California with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, intimacy concerns, LGBTQ questions, low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, and stress. Jamayla aims to make the first steps toward change feel more manageable and less alone.

She emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings. In sessions she listens closely and helps clients notice patterns that get in the way of their goals. Jamayla encourages practical steps people can try between meetings to test what helps.

Her approach blends methods that focus on values, emotions, and behavior. That means she helps clients clarify what matters, understand relationship patterns, and work on thinking and behavior that cause distress. These methods are used to support issues like grief, trauma, self-worth, and coping with life transitions.

Jamayla has worked with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including parenting strain, sleep and eating problems, career stress, chronic health challenges, and ADHD-related struggles. She also supports people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures and those facing communication or commitment issues.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Jamayla helps people set realistic goals and track small changes. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through the initial steps to connect and plan sessions that fit their needs.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small actions that match those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and sleep trouble. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, attachment issues, and communication struggles.

Finding the best approach is a joint process. Jamayla will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they will try approaches that fit the client’s needs and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.

Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with licensed professionals from different locations, which can be helpful for those who move or live outside the therapist’s region.
