About Felicity

Felicity Palma blends cognitive behavioral techniques with a compassionate, person-centered stance to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma-related concerns.

Background and approach

As a licensed clinician practicing in Florida, she draws on five years of experience using practical, evidence-informed strategies to address challenges such as mood disorders, addiction, grief, and difficulties with self-esteem and life transitions. Her credentials include LPCC and LMHC licensure, noted as OH LPCC E.2606989 and FL LMHC MH24058.

She tailors each plan to the individual's needs, weaving together elements of CBT, DBT, and solution-focused work to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and clarify goals. Clients can expect a collaborative relationship that emphasizes insight, skill-building, and steady progress toward meaningful change.

Palma also addresses areas like communication problems, codependency, chronic illness and pain, impulsivity, and questions of life purpose when they arise in therapy. Sessions aim to empower clients to understand patterns, practice new responses, and strengthen resilience amid transitions or ongoing struggles.

Services are offered in English and provided through flexible online formats to fit differing schedules and needs.

Using structured approaches for online healing and growth

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and some addiction-related problems by teaching practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and a non-directive stance to help people explore feelings and develop greater self-understanding, which can be especially helpful when navigating grief, identity, or life transitions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy brings attention to emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills and can support those struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person's goals, preferences, and experiences, then combine techniques when appropriate to create a tailored plan that makes sense for the client's needs. This helps ensure therapy feels relevant and workable from the start.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide scheduling flexibility and ongoing access to care. These formats make it easier to fit regular therapeutic work into busy lives while still allowing for skill practice, check-ins, and progress reviews with a licensed professional.
