About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Bosley is a New York licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Her practice also includes work around LGBT topics, intimacy-related issues, parenting and career questions, and life purpose.
She approaches therapy from a client-centered stance that respects each person's knowledge of their own life. Sessions draw on narrative ideas to look at life stories and patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address anxious and depressive thinking, and solution-focused steps to make practical changes.
In couples-related work she integrates parts of the Gottman Method to help people notice interaction patterns and make small repairs. Mindfulness practices are used to build attention and regulate stress when that fits a person's goals. Her work addresses a wide range of concerns, including blended family dynamics, family of origin issues, infidelity, and non-monogamous relationship arrangements.
Dr. Bosley has experience with topics that often carry stigma, such as HIV/AIDS, gender dysphoria, BDSM and kink culture, and prejudice or discrimination. She also supports people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD-related struggles. Conversations focus on clear steps the client can take and on reshaping unhelpful stories about themselves.
People who meet with her can expect practical strategies alongside reflective conversation. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to map concerns and goals.
How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Bosley commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy centers on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify what matters. Cognitive behavioral therapy involves noticing thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on elements of the Gottman Method for relationship-focused sessions, which means observing interaction patterns and coaching small communication repairs. Together, she and the client decide which approach or mix of approaches seems most useful based on the person's current concerns and goals. That determination is collaborative and may change over time.
Confirm the current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help them fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or remove travel time from their day. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and session rhythm so therapy can integrate with everyday life.
