Background and approach

She also supports clients facing career stress, caregiver strain, and the challenges of blended families. In sessions she uses client-centered conversation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies. That means she starts by hearing a person's concerns, then looks for practical ways to test new thinking and behaviors that ease distress.

Sessions often focus on steps people can try between meetings. People who come to her can expect straightforward talk about goals and progress. She will tailor a plan to each person's needs and pace.

The work is collaborative, with attention to strengths and what is realistic for everyday life. Felicia offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging for flexible care. She works in English and does not accept international clients.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps connect people with her schedule and the right session format.

How her approaches work online

Felicia uses client-centered therapy to create a space where a person feels heard and respected. That approach focuses on understanding priorities and shaping conversations around what the person says matters most. It is useful for building trust and clarifying goals.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking and tests small behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool she uses to find practical, short-term steps. It concentrates on strengths and on what will work next rather than dwelling on what went wrong.

Figuring out the best mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods as the work progresses. This collaborative process helps people try strategies that fit their life and pace.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for flexibility. Video is good when face-to-face interaction matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat or text messaging works well for short updates or when typing feels more comfortable. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
