About Felicia

Felicia Kellen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota with six years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, and self-esteem. She also works with adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, postpartum concerns, and trauma-related issues.

She has experience providing direct mental health services to children, teens, and families over a longer clinical history prior to her current six years as an LMFT. That background includes helping people manage mood disorders, navigat e life changes, and cope after sexual assault or domestic violence. She brings practical techniques aimed at reducing distress and improving daily functioning.

Her working style is collaborative and straightforward. She aims to build a relaxed, open, and non-judgmental relationship so people feel heard while they set clear goals. Sessions often include body-based strategies to calm stress responses alongside talk-based work.

Felicia uses a mix of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, mindfulness practices, narrative work, and psychodynamic ideas. She has formal training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Child-Parent Psychotherapy and has completed additional trainings such as an immersive course in Polyvagal Theory and a 200-hour yoga teacher training.

In practical terms she focuses on concrete skills people can try between sessions. She discusses options, adapts techniques when something does not fit, and helps people track small changes that build over time.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Felicia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that increase stress or anxiety and to practice alternative responses. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, useful for mood, anxiety, and parenting concerns.

She also uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and helping people set their own goals, and mindfulness therapy to teach simple exercises for calming the body's stress response. Those approaches support work on grief, trauma symptoms, and daily coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried, reviewed, and changed if they do not fit.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals can use talk-based work alongside guided breathing or movement exercises that translate easily to remote sessions.
