About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Bosley is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship struggles, and life transitions. Sessions focus on practical ways to handle strong feelings and improve daily functioning.
Alicia frames problems as things that happen to people rather than fixed parts of their identity. She asks questions, listens closely, and helps people name what gets in the way of feeling better. That makes the work concrete rather than abstract.
Her approach combines client-centered care with narrative ideas and cognitive-behavioral tools. She also draws on solution-focused strategies and aspects of the Gottman Method when relationship concerns are a central issue. In practice this means mapping patterns, testing small changes, and tracking what helps.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns beyond anger, including self-esteem, grief, parenting strain, career stress, sexual health topics like kink and alternative cultures, and LGBTQ issues. She supports discussion of topics such as gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS, polyamory or non-monogamous relationships, and multicultural stressors in straightforward terms.
Her work is collaborative and goal-oriented. Clients and therapist set short-term steps and check progress together. Practical exercises, mindful attention to reactions, and clear behavioral experiments are common tools used between sessions.
To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time and pricing varies by location. All sessions are offered in English and she is not taking international clients.
How Alicia uses therapeutic methods in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist follows the clients lead, listens closely, and helps people clarify their own goals; it supports work on issues like self-esteem, anger, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new behaviors; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and managing anger triggers. The Gottman Method offers straightforward ways to notice interaction patterns and practice different communication moves, which can be useful when relationship conflict or intimacy issues are present.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. Alicia will talk with each person about goals and preferences and experiment with techniques that fit those aims. The plan can change as progress is tracked and new needs appear, so methods are selected together rather than fixed in advance.
Confirm the therapist's specific session formats before booking, as formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, let someone check in quickly during a lunch break, or use shorter sessions for focused skill practice. It can reduce travel time and allow people to keep therapy consistent when schedules change. Licensed professionals adapt tools like behavioral experiments, mindfulness practices, and communication exercises to the online setting so sessions remain practical and goal-focused.
