What should a new client know about working with you?
Hello, my name is Felicia, and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical
Social Worker (LICSW) in the states of Alabama, Colorado, Oregon, and West Virginia. I have served my community as a champion for mental wellness for the past 15 years in the medical and academic settings, with the last two specifically focused on creating a supportive and therapeutic environment for individuals navigating life’s most challenging moments.
With a compassionate approach, I am dedicated to supporting clients in developing and implementing effective coping strategies to manage stress and adversity, empowering them to process and move forward with resilience and strength.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in a strengths-based perspective, tailored to align with your personal goals and establish a realistic and attainable method to achieving them. I employ therapeutic methods such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI), to support you in reaching your goals. Fundamental to my treatment protocols are mindfulness-based interventions and psychoeducation aimed to help identify the reason and/or triggers behind emotions and reactions.

What is your typical process for working with clients?
Going through therapy with a therapist can be a very beneficial experience for individuals who want to work through their mental health challenges and improve their overall well-being. Here are some steps you can take to make the most of your therapy experience:
- Find the right therapist: The first step is to find a therapist who is a good fit for you. Look for someone who specializes in the type of issues you want to address and whose style matches your preferences. I hope I can be that person for you.
- Set clear goals: It's important to have clear goals for therapy so that you and I are on the same page. In our first session, we will discuss your goals and work together to create a treatment plan that outlines the steps you will take to achieve those goals.
- Try to be open and honest with me about your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. I am here to help you, and I can only do so if I have a clear understanding of what's going on.
- Trust the process: Therapy can be a long process, and it's important to trust that the work you're doing with me will pay off in the end. It's also important to be patient and not expect instant results.
- Practice self-care: In addition to attending therapy sessions, it's important to practice self-care on a regular basis. This may include activities such as exercise, meditation, or spending time with loved ones.
- Keep an open mind: Finally, it's important to keep an open mind and be willing to try new things. As your therapist, I may suggest different techniques or approaches that you haven't tried before, and it's important to be receptive to these suggestions.
Remember, therapy is a collaborative process between you and me, so be sure to communicate your thoughts and concerns along the way. With the right mindset and a willingness to work, therapy can be a transformative experience that helps you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life.
