About Felicia
LMFT (California), 14 years of experience. Felicia Ponce works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating concerns, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, life changes, and ADHD.
Felicia trained as a Marriage and Family Therapist and has worked in multiple community settings. She spent five years at a private non-profit clinic serving children and their families, then four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district. She later moved into independent practice and has also taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University.
Her approach combines a person-centered attitude with practical methods. Sessions begin with curiosity about a person's experience and use discussion to help people identify workable next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to map thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Attachment-based ideas and family systems thinking help clarify relational patterns.
Mindfulness-based tools and motivational interviewing are added when useful to increase awareness and readiness for change. Felicia says she is generally laid back and treats the therapeutic hour as the client's time. Goals and treatment plans are developed together, with attention to trauma-informed care.
She emphasizes a practical, collaborative process. Expect straightforward conversation, exploration of current patterns, and ideas you can try between sessions. The first meetings focus on understanding priorities and agreeing on goals before shifting into active strategies.

Therapeutic approaches used and what online work looks like
Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how they shape current reactions; it helps when trust, closeness, or repeated relationship conflicts are central. Client-centered work means the therapist stays curious and supports clients in finding their own solutions through guided conversation and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to reduce distress or improve functioning.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Felicia will talk with you about your goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together you decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress or new issues arise.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in this profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. It also permits using exercises and mindfulness practices between sessions that link directly to daily life. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you complete the matching questionnaire so you know what to expect.
