About Felice
Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a Michigan licensed professional counselor with ten years of counseling experience and a prior 15-year background in teaching. She guides people through hard changes in life, career transitions, and healing after trauma. Her style is down-to-earth and straightforward.
She encourages visible steps forward rather than abstract talk. Felice creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can say what they really think and feel. She listens first and helps clients set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills for coping with anxiety, stress, grief, low self-esteem, and challenges linked to adoption and family separation. She uses tools from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try small changes. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused methods are added when someone wants support with decision-making, career planning, or changing habits.
These approaches are used to make therapy concrete and goal-oriented. Felice has worked with concerns such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, relationship struggles, addiction, and end-of-life caregiving. She also supports people navigating anger, eating difficulties, ADHD symptoms, and questions about life purpose.
Her background in education informs how she explains ideas and practices new skills. People who reach out can expect clear language, step-by-step plans, and a focus on what helps in daily life. She accepts clients in English and works with international clients as well.
The emphasis is on progress that fits each person's situation.
How her approaches work online
Felice draws on client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make practical changes. Client-centered work means she listens closely and helps clients name what matters most. It helps with self-esteem, grief, and feeling heard. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on noticing thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and shift daily routines.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She talks with each person about goals and preferences, then blends methods to match those needs. This collaborative planning makes it easier to try realistic steps between sessions and check what works.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations. Phone can be better when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and texting allow quick mood checks, brief coaching, or progress notes that fit around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and practice skills in everyday settings.
