Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones, LMHC, LCPC

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice. She is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed clinical professional counselor with a long history of supporting people through addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and parenting concerns. She works from a belief that clients know their own stories and already carry strengths to build on.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She helps people name what is hardest for them and develop ways to manage it day to day. Sessions focus on practical steps, learning skills, and trying new approaches in real life rather than just talking about problems.

Felder-Jones has worked with a wide range of concerns across her career, including bipolar disorder, attachment problems, codependency, and stress related to caregiving and chronic illness. She also supports people facing issues related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, body image, and aging and geriatric issues.

Her clinical toolkit includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral methods, attachment-based work, dialectical behavior techniques, and a client-centered stance. She adapts these methods to each person, drawing on what fits best for the situation.

People who come to her can expect steady guidance and practical strategies. She encourages small experiments and continued reflection so changes can stick. To begin, readers are invited to choose the Start Therapy option and follow the match and scheduling steps provided elsewhere on the site.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven action. It can help when someone feels stuck by worry, avoidance, or ongoing pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for mood, anxiety, and coping with life changes.

Choosing the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, daily demands, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Then she will suggest approaches and adjust them as needed so they fit the person’s life and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule or to keep consistent check-ins during a life transition. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or let people avoid travel on difficult days. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT and CBT exercises for remote sessions so skill practice and problem solving continue between meetings.
