Background and approach
She also draws on Client-Centered and Solution-Focused techniques to shape goals and build small, achievable changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when teaching emotional regulation and coping skills. Her experience includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings, foster care, parent coaching, crisis counseling, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and art therapy.

She is comfortable addressing trauma, relationship strain, parenting stress, ADHD, mood disorders, and issues tied to life transitions. Sessions are offered from Florida and are conducted in English. In sessions she aims to be warm, genuine, and culturally sensitive while helping people set clear, realistic steps.
Her style is collaborative and goal-oriented, focused on what will help a person feel steadier day to day.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Felicia uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small actions that match those values. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions because it focuses on workable choices rather than thought control.She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that influence mood and behavior. CBT breaks problems into smaller parts and teaches practical strategies for changing unhelpful habits and improving sleep, mood, and focus.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods together so work matches each person’s needs and preferences. Clients help decide which tools feel most useful and when to shift direction.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which let people fit work into busy days. Video calls support deeper conversation and teaching of skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, ongoing problem solving, and keeping progress on track between longer sessions.
