About Felicia
Felicia Nicosia is a licensed counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, parenting struggles, and major life changes. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - LCPC and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC, and brings 18 years of clinical experience to her practice. Her approach is warm and practical, aimed at making change manageable for busy parents and adults.
Felicia works from a holistic viewpoint that looks beyond symptoms.
Background and approach
She considers factors like sleep, diet, exercise, stress, and spiritual life when helping people sort out problems. Sessions focus on concrete skills and simple changes that fit daily life rather than long lectures or medical jargon. Her clinical style mixes well-known therapies to match each person's needs.
She uses strategies from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavior methods, dialectical behavior skills, client-centered listening, and solution-focused planning. That variety lets her tailor sessions to immediate concerns and longer-term goals. Past roles include counseling in inpatient psychiatric settings, foster care and parent coaching, crisis work, equine-assisted therapy, and art therapy.
These experiences inform how she supports people through grief, trauma, relationship strain, mood concerns, and career or parenting stress. Felicia practices in Florida and conducts sessions in English. She describes herself as compassionate and culturally sensitive, offering straightforward guidance with warmth and respect.
Getting help begins with a short match questionnaire and scheduling a session that fits the parent's routine.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Felicia commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and it supports actions that align with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and it offers skills for changing unhelpful patterns that fuel anxiety, low mood, and sleep trouble.She views therapy as a cooperative process. Together the therapist and client choose which approaches to try based on the person's goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. That collaborative planning makes it easier to test techniques and adjust as needs change.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls let people work face-to-face without traveling. Phone sessions can be a simpler fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let parents fit brief updates or skill practice into a busy day and follow up between live sessions. These options aim to make ongoing care easier to fit into real life.
