About Jamayla
Jamayla Gray is a California LPCC with six years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, addictions, and relationship or intimacy concerns. She also supports those facing self-esteem struggles, parenting challenges, grief, and life transitions.
Jamayla uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy along with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and cognitive behavioral approaches. She focuses on emotions and attachment patterns that are often hard to name. Sessions include talking through unhelpful patterns, noticing emotional responses, and practicing different ways of responding in daily life.
Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including ADHD, bipolar issues, eating or sleeping problems, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include codependency, communication problems, body image, chronic illness and caregiving stress, and dynamics related to kink and alternative sex culture. Jamayla also supports people coping with abandonment issues and blended family stress.
She offers a straightforward, client-centered approach that emphasizes clear goals and practical steps. People can expect collaborative conversations about what is happening now and experiments to try between sessions. Jamayla encourages small changes that build into larger shifts over time.
Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Jamayla uses EFT, ACT and CBT in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and track emotions and the interaction patterns they drive. It is useful when feelings and attachment responses shape recurring conflicts or distance. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose behavior that aligns with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete skills for changing patterns that maintain distress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jamayla will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest ways to combine EFT, ACT, or CBT in sessions. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy proceeds.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling to appointments, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to practice skills in the places where problems happen and to maintain continuity while traveling or living abroad.
