About Felicia
Felicia Kelley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical help for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and big life transitions. Felicia believes people already have strengths to draw on and offers steady support while they make changes.
She frames sessions around what the person wants to achieve. Conversations tend to be direct and respectful, with attention to emotions and everyday challenges.
How Felicia works
She uses methods that help people recognize unhelpful thinking patterns and build coping skills that fit their life. Felicia also addresses caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, attachment concerns, and difficulties with communication. She helps people work through guilt, shame, forgiveness, and feelings of isolation.
Workplace issues, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose or self-love are other areas she regularly supports. Her approach combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are woven in when they suit a client's goals.
Sessions aim to blend empathy with practical steps for change. People who prefer clear goals, skill-building, and compassionate listening tend to do well with her style. She offers conversation and guidance that respect each person's pace while encouraging forward movement.

How her approaches translate to online work
Felicia uses client-centered therapy to listen closely and help people set goals that matter to them. That approach focuses on building understanding and trust while centering the person's own priorities.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used to build emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when those areas are a focus.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Felicia will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress is made. The plan is collaborative and can change based on what works best for the client.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing encouragement between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day and to continue work consistently.
