About Felicia
Felicia Ponce is a California-based LMFT with 14 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She supports adults facing relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, addiction, attention differences, and work or career stress. Her approach is warm and conversational, aimed at helping people find practical ways forward.
She began clinical work after completing a master’s degree in 2010. Early roles included five years at a nonprofit clinic serving children and their families and four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district.
Background and approach
Those settings shaped her skills working with relational and developmental concerns. Felicia describes her style as person-centered and collaborative. She keeps sessions calm and curious, inviting clients to reflect and identify solutions that fit their lives.
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address patterns of thinking and behavior and uses family systems ideas when relationships and roles feel stuck. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing inform her work when clients need tools for emotional regulation or help clarifying goals and motivation. She emphasizes trauma-informed care and aims to create an environment where people feel respected and heard.
In addition to clinical practice, she has taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University. That teaching background supports her clear, educational style when explaining strategies and homework between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Felicia uses client-centered work to focus on each person’s experience, staying curious and respectful as you describe parenting stress, relationship strain, or mood concerns. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what matters most to work on.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, parenting behaviors, and managing ADHD-related challenges by offering clear, practical exercises to try between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. She will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust the focus over time based on what feels most useful and what produces change.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and practicing new skills, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is convenient for shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets you send quick reflections or get steady support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and changing routines.
