About Felice

Felice Kelley (Kelley-Ware) is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with a decade of clinical practice and additional years of teaching experience.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate career challenges, life transitions, and the long-term effects of trauma, including work with adoptees and those coping with relationship and family stress. Her background balances practical counseling skills with an understanding of how life roles and responsibilities shape emotional health.

Her style emphasizes openness and respect; she creates a space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings without judgment while collaborating on clear, achievable goals. Felice integrates approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques alongside client-centered and solution-focused methods to tailor support to each person’s needs.

She also addresses concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, parenting stress, substance issues, and questions about life purpose. Clients can expect a supportive, goal-oriented process that honors individual pace and preference.

Felice encourages those taking the first step toward change and offers options for ongoing support that fit varied schedules and circumstances.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Felice uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing symptoms like anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathic listening and supporting each person’s own goals and pace of change. These approaches are presented in straightforward language and tailored to the issues a client brings.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together; Felice treats approach selection as a collaborative process. She reviews a client’s concerns, preferences, and goals and then recommends strategies that feel like a good fit, adjusting course as needs evolve. This partnership helps ensure that the therapeutic plan matches what the client hopes to accomplish.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for differing schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without requiring travel, and they allow sessions and check-ins to fit into busy lives while maintaining a structured, goal-oriented process.
