About Felicia
Felicia Ponce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She lists stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, parenting, ADHD, and other life challenges among the issues she addresses. She practices in English and works from a collaborative, person-centered stance.
Felicia spent five years at a nonprofit clinic serving children and their families, then four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district. After that she moved into independent practice and has also taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University. These roles shaped her practical approach to therapy.
Her sessions are guided by curiosity about the client’s experience. She uses a person-centered style to help people notice patterns and discover personal solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her toolkit for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors.
She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and on mindfulness strategies to help with emotional regulation. Motivational Interviewing and narrative approaches appear in her work when clients want focused change or to reframe personal stories.
Felicia emphasizes collaboration on goals, with a relaxed manner that keeps the hour focused on the client. She describes therapy as a practical process of identifying problems, trying concrete changes, and tracking what helps. If someone wants a straightforward, structured style that mixes reflection and skill-building, this is the approach she offers.
How her approaches translate to online work
Felicia relies on a mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside person-centered listening. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes, which can be practiced between sessions and reviewed online. Attachment-based work looks at relationship patterns and helps people notice how past connections influence current relationships.She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss goals and try methods that match the client's needs and preferences. They adjust the plan if something isn’t helpful, working together on steps that feel practical and manageable.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, shorten check-ins when needed, and let people use the method that suits them best without extra travel. Licensed professionals can use structured CBT exercises, attachment-focused conversation, and guided mindfulness practices just as they would in person, while tailoring pacing and homework to each client’s routine.
