About Felicia
Felicia Ponce is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She brings 14 years of clinical experience and a calm, collaborative style to sessions. Parents reading on a phone will find straightforward, compassionate language and a focus on practical steps that fit real life.
She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, and ADHD. She also supports people facing parenting challenges, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem struggles, career questions, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Her work includes attention to LGBT issues and the ways family dynamics affect individual wellbeing. Felicia favors a person-centered stance that keeps the client's perspective central. She blends that with cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior.
Attachment-based ideas guide how she looks at relationship patterns and how they shape emotions. Her background includes five years at a personal nonprofit clinic serving children and families and four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district. She has also taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University.
Sessions are practical and paced to what each person needs. Felicia aims to make the hour about the client, working together to set goals and try strategies that fit daily life. She frames therapy as teamwork toward clearer coping and stronger relationships.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Felicia often blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral strategies. Client-centered work means she stays curious about each person's experience and helps them lead the conversation, which is useful for building trust and clarifying goals. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past and present relationships shape feelings and reactions. That approach can help people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they set priorities, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other for a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging can fit into busy days or provide shorter, ongoing support between sessions.
