About Alicia
Dr. Alicia Bosley is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in New York with 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, depression, and questions about identity and intimacy. Her practice also covers parenting concerns, career stress, grief, and issues tied to family of origin.
Her sessions begin with straightforward conversation about what is happening now and what the client wants to change. She uses practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behavioral strategies. She also uses client-centered and narrative approaches to help people name their experiences and rewrite stuck stories about themselves.
Clients dealing with LGBT matters, gender dysphoria concerns, or non-traditional relationship styles such as polyamory or kink work through identity, boundaries, and communication in clear, task-focused ways. She also addresses blended family dynamics, fatherhood questions, and the effects of earlier family roles that continue to shape present behavior.
Sessions tend to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to skills for managing sleep, anger, or work stress. Dr. Bosley integrates mindfulness exercises when helpful and draws on elements of the Gottman Method for relationship skill-building. She frames therapy as a series of practical steps rather than labels.
To start, prospective clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first meeting. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.
Approach and how online sessions work
Dr. Bosley commonly draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered approaches in her work. CBT involves identifying thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and trying concrete behavior changes. Client-centered work focuses on listening closely to what matters to the person and using that understanding to shape goals and next steps.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method for practical relationship skills such as improving communication and managing conflict. These approaches are used to address stress, relationship concerns, family of origin patterns, and identity questions in straightforward, actionable ways.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss options in the first sessions and collaborate with the client to decide what fits their goals and preferences. That conversation guides whether sessions emphasize skill practice, narrative re-framing, or a mix of methods.
The listing does not specify which session formats are offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week and can reduce travel time. Some formats also let people do shorter check-ins when needed or avoid being on camera, so practical needs can be matched to how sessions are scheduled.
