Over her career she has supported people facing depression, bipolar concerns, addiction, trauma, grief, and challenges related to parenting or career shifts.
How Felicia works
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. She uses client-centered methods that let the client lead while offering clear ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are often used to help people notice patterns and try new strategies between sessions.
Felicia also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when clients need short-term goals or support processing painful events. Sessions are practical and goal-directed, with attention to safety and pacing so people can move forward at a comfortable rate.
She works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, family of origin struggles, caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and communication problems, fertility and first responder issues, and feelings of isolation. Sessions are conducted in English and are suited to people who want a warm, steady clinician with many years of experience.

Online support options
Practical therapy approaches for online care
Felicia combines client-centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy approaches to guide online sessions that feel personal and goal-focused. Client-Centered Therapy means the conversation follows the client's priorities and feelings, creating space to be heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to track thoughts and try different behaviors between sessions to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Felicia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they set goals, try techniques, and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflections between sessions. These options aim to make consistent care easier to schedule and maintain.
