About Felicia

Felicia Ponce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She helps people manage stress, anger, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, parenting struggles, addiction issues, and challenges like ADHD or career transitions. Her style aims to make people feel heard and safe during hard conversations.

Felicia trained for her master’s degree and has worked in nonprofit clinics and school settings. She spent five years supporting children and families and four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district before moving into independent practice.

Background and approach

She has also taught psychology courses as an adjunct lecturer at a California State University. In sessions she leans on a person-centered stance. She stays curious about a person’s experience and invites them to find their own solutions.

Felicia also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and to build different responses. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships affect mood and coping. Motivational interviewing informs how she supports people who are weighing change or struggling with motivation.

Mindfulness tools are used to help people calm their bodies and focus on the present. Felicia describes her approach as collaborative and relaxed. She treats the session time as the client’s hour and works alongside them to set goals.

Her practice focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions to manage emotions and improve day-to-day functioning.

Approaches Felicia lists

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Felicia often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also draws from attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships and early patterns shape current reactions. That approach can help when relationship dynamics, trust, or long-standing interaction styles cause distress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. She will ask about your goals, what has helped before, and your preferences, then recommend strategies to try. The plan is adjusted as you learn what fits and what does not, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face from a distance. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or you prefer no video. Live chat and text can be useful for shorter check-ins or when you want written reflections between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule.
