About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Bosley uses a collaborative, person-focused approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes.
Background and approach
She is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in New York with 17 years of experience. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental, and she helps clients make practical changes that fit their lives.
She draws on client-centered work to prioritize each person's perspective and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools are used when thoughts and behaviors are getting in the way of daily functioning.
Narrative ideas help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships. Alicia has worked with a wide range of concerns, including relationship struggles, self-esteem, parenting stress, grief, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people navigating LGBTQ issues, gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS concerns, and nontraditional relationship structures such as polyamory and kink-friendly topics. She speaks plainly about intimacy, jealousy, and boundaries so clients can make choices that feel right for them.
Sessions focus on clear goals and skills you can practice between meetings. She blends short-term strategies with deeper conversations about family of origin and life purpose.
The therapist helps clients identify small steps that lead to steady progress. People meet with Alicia by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She works with the person who reaches out to build a plan that fits their schedule and needs. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled based on therapist availability.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels understood and in charge of goals. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort out feelings or make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches straightforward skills for changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or anger concerns. The Gottman Method concentrates on practical communication and connection strategies that can improve relationship patterns and reduce conflict.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to their goals and preferences. Together they will try techniques, check what helps, and adjust the plan as needs evolve.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
