About LaRaye
LaRaye Lyles is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on parenting and family-related concerns. She speaks plainly and meets people where they are, offering steady support for parents and adults facing relationship or identity challenges. Her style is respectful and calm and she aims to build a practical plan that fits each person’s life.
She brings 24 years of experience working with LGBT issues, parenting struggles, self-esteem and confidence, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also helps people who have trouble with focus and attention, including ADHD-related concerns. Her work includes support for issues such as communication problems, blended family challenges, and separation or divorce. Sessions are tailored to the individual.
She listens first, then shapes conversations and goals to match what a person needs. Her approach values sensitivity to culture, gender and life stage, and she addresses topics like gender dysphoria, multicultural concerns, and prejudice when they arise. LaRaye pays attention to practical problems alongside emotional ones.
That might mean working on clearer communication, rebuilding trust after a separation, or developing routines that help with focus and memory. She also supports people exploring life purpose, self-love, and young adult transitions. Based in California, LaRaye uses methods drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them for each situation.
Sessions take place in English and are offered through multiple online formats to fit busy schedules. She encourages people to take the first step and complete a short matching questionnaire to begin the scheduling process.
Therapeutic techniques and online care that fit your life
LaRaye draws on evidence-based techniques that are practical and goal-oriented. One common approach focuses on building clearer communication and problem-solving skills so families and parents can manage conflicts and daily challenges more effectively. Another approach targets attention and organization difficulties, using structured strategies and routines to reduce distraction and support follow-through with tasks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to figure out which techniques match their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful in daily life. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful and what needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls enable face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be a simpler option when video is not convenient, and live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting and work routines while keeping progress steady and practical.
