About Felicia
Felicia Kelley is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in California with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and the challenges that come with life transitions.
Background and approach
Felicia approaches each person as the expert of their own story and builds on existing strengths to support change and growth. Her style blends practical skills and empathetic listening, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy alongside client-centered and mindfulness-informed techniques.
She aims to empower clients to identify unhelpful patterns, develop coping strategies, and set achievable goals while honoring each person’s values and pace. Felicia also addresses related concerns such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication struggles, guilt and shame, social anxiety, workplace issues, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances structure and flexibility to meet individual needs. She offers a supportive environment for exploring emotions, building skills, and making meaningful changes over time.
How evidence-informed approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and a nonjudgmental stance so clients can explore values and goals at their own pace; this approach supports emotional processing and self-directed growth. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals and will tailor a mix of methods that fit the client’s situation rather than applying a single technique rigidly. This collaboration helps ensure sessions feel relevant and practical.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals.
