About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of experience. She practices with clients from Idaho and is also licensed as an LCPC in Idaho and a LMHC in Washington.
She focuses on practical help for parenting concerns, relationships, addiction, trauma, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. She believes people know their own story and brings a respectful, listening-first approach. Sessions emphasize building on strengths and small, achievable steps that fit daily life.
Background and approach
The work is collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. Her background includes long experience across a range of concerns from attachment and abandonment to caregiving stress and chronic illness. That breadth supports parents who are juggling complex needs or health challenges while trying to care for others.
In session she uses evidence-based tools in plain language. Techniques come from cognitive behavioral approaches and acceptance-based methods alongside attachment-focused and client-centered styles. Skills often include managing intense emotions, improving communication, and planning concrete behavior changes.
Dr. Felder-Jones aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She helps people set clear goals and tracks progress over time.
Her style is steady, pragmatic, and focused on real-life results.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for parenting stress, addiction-related urges, and ongoing mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how things work in daily life; it can help with relationship patterns and symptom management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's situation. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to parenting challenges, trauma recovery, or mood regulation needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter skill coaching, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules or when travel is difficult.
