How her approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression, and major life changes by focusing on meaningful, value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing patterns of behavior with practical exercises and homework. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a supportive, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace of work and the therapist offers empathy and reflection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Felicia will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaborative process helps tailor techniques and pacing to what feels most useful.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking, since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use visual tools or worksheets during a session and bring creative assignments into daily life. If you want to explore online care, verify current session options and then schedule in a way that suits your routine.
