More about Felicia
- 14 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in California, working in the field since I received my Master’s degree in 2010. I worked for a private non-profit clinic with children (0-18) and their families for five years. I then worked for a high school district providing educationally related mental health services for four years before beginning the journey of practicing independently. I have experience providing treatment for a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, grief, relational issues, parenting, trauma, abuse, and risk management. I also have experience teaching as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University.
The desire for human connection and abnormal psychology have fascinated me since I was a teenager, which resulted in my choice to become a therapist. Each work environment has provided me with knowledge and experience, but also with the honor of being present for clients at their most vulnerable and brave moments.
I like to create a sense of safety for clients and draw from a person-centered approach in sessions. This means that I will remain curious about your experience and facilitate discussion which will lead you to discover that you have always held the key to unlock solutions. I also utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Family Systems approach, and Solution Focused Therapy to guide treatment. Maintaining trauma-informed care is essential and I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP).
Every therapist is different. I tend to be somewhat laid back, as I believe clients are the experts on their lives and I want you to know the hour is yours. We will work together as a team to collaborate on treatment goals, addressing challenges, and resolving issues.
I believe everyone has mental health. The severity and intensity it needs attention varies throughout our life span, just like most things. It takes courage to ask for help and I feel privileged to be in the position to provide you with support and guidance as you work towards feeling like the best version of yourself.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Very good theerapist
Felicia is the best counselor I've had, I am so grateful for her.
Felicia is the best!
Felicia is an incredible resource and I'm so grateful to have her in my life. I approached her at the beginning of the pandemic to help deal with rising anxiety, but almost immediately we identified other topics to focus on and equip me to handle new challenges as they arose. She is kind, thoughtful, patient, warm, laser-smart on timely industry and expert analysis. I initially saw Betterhelp.com as a short resource but now see it as an important part of my life forever!
Felicia has been truly wonderful. She goes above and beyond to make sure I feel supported and comfortable. She is an expert in her field and is always willing to research any topics I have interest in. She has sent me many helpful resources and goes to great lengths to find tactics that will be useful in my personal journey. I am very thankful to have found this resource and specifically such a great therapist!
Felicia is a great counselor. She has made me understand myself more and how to handle situations in a healthy way.
She is very responsive listens and offers great strategies
