She practices with a focus on practical help for people coping with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar concerns.

Over 20 years she has helped people navigate issues related to abandonment, attachment concerns, blended family stress, and codependency. She also brings experience supporting people facing chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and concerns tied to adoption and foster care.
Dr. Felder-Jones draws on several therapeutic styles to match what a person needs. These include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based approaches, client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She tailors methods to the person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.
Her practice aims to empower people to make choices that fit their values and daily life. The work often focuses on improving relationships, managing strong emotions, and developing healthier patterns of coping. She invites clients to take the next step when they feel ready.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Dr. Felder-Jones uses approaches that focus on values, attachment, and the person in front of her. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and helps people take actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer, more dependable ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client as the expert on their life and relies on active listening and acceptance to help people find their own solutions. These methods can help with relationship struggles, codependency, trauma responses, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals evolve and progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework for use between sessions so change can continue outside appointment times.
