Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Felicity draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on offering a respectful, empathic environment where the client leads the pace and direction of work while the therapist provides support and understanding. This approach helps with issues related to self-esteem, life transitions, relationships, and emotional processing.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, phobias, and stress-related concerns. In addition, mindfulness therapy is used to develop present-moment awareness and calm, supporting emotional regulation and reducing reactivity in daily life.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Felicity works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as work progresses.

Online therapy allows Felicity to offer sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or to access support from different locations. These options provide flexibility in how people engage with therapy while maintaining a consistent therapeutic relationship with licensed professionals and therapists.
