How her approaches guide online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows the person's priorities and helps them name goals and values, which can be useful for stress, relationship strain, or codependency concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In sessions, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try new ways of responding, and practice skills for anxiety, depression, or coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Felicia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what the client reports is helping and what feels doable.
