About Alicia

Dr. Alicia Bosley brings a collaborative, client-centered approach to therapy, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside narrative and solution-focused techniques.

Background and approach

With 17 years of clinical experience, she emphasizes practical strategies for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions while honoring each person's strengths and lived story. Dr.

Bosley frames problems as experiences that happen to people rather than as defining traits, and she partners with clients to create individualized plans that reflect their values and goals.

Her practice includes work on relationships and intimacy-related concerns, LGBT and gender dysphoria issues, and a wide range of personal and family challenges such as blended family dynamics, parenting and fatherhood issues, infidelity, grief, and multicultural stressors. She also supports those navigating career questions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and concerns related to alternative sex cultures including BDSM and kink.

Based in New York and licensed as an LMFT, she provides a steady, nonjudgmental presence aimed at helping clients move from overwhelm toward renewed purpose and resilience.

Online Therapy Guided by CBT and Client-Centered Principles



Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning practical skills to change them; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleeping problems, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and creating a respectful therapeutic relationship so clients can explore their feelings and strengthen self-understanding. The Gottman Method offers structured tools for partners to improve communication and manage conflict, which can help with intimacy-related issues and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to determine which methods - such as CBT skills, client-centered exploration, or Gottman techniques for couples work - best fit the client's goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, adjusting the plan as needs evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and comfort levels. These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
