About Felicia
She spent much of her career working with adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system and with people served by state agencies. Over the past seven years she expanded her practice through contracted work and now sees young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults across many life stages.
Her work is client-centered. That means sessions focus on each person’s goals and strengths. She blends approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness approaches, and Motivational Interviewing to fit what a person needs.
She also uses trauma-informed and grief-focused strategies when those issues are present. In practical terms this often means building coping skills, practicing emotion regulation techniques, and setting small, achievable goals for change.
Before a first session she invites clients to share any information they think is helpful. This helps shape early sessions and makes the time together feel more useful from the start. She aims to guide people through transitions with steady, practical support.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-centered therapy puts the client's goals at the center of every session. The therapist listens for strengths and preferences, then shapes sessions around what the person wants to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with practical strategies. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions and relationship conflicts.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which combination of methods fits best. That means trying techniques, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan to match goals and day-to-day life.
Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed and make it simpler to continue work across life transitions. Licensed professionals can use these methods to teach skills, practice new ways of relating, and support coping during major changes.
