Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones, LMHC, LCPC

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical work. She holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and practices from Idaho while also being licensed in Washington. Her background centers on helping people manage addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar-related concerns.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. The aim is to make change feel possible and manageable.

Over 20 years she has worked with a wide range of issues beyond her core specialties. Those include attachment and abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image, and complicated relationship patterns such as codependency and commitment worries. She also addresses matters related to alternative sexual cultures and personality challenges when they affect daily functioning.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods to match what each person needs. In session she uses tools that help clarify values, manage strong emotions, and change unhelpful habits. Conversations stay focused on concrete skills and real-world practice.

People who want direct, strength-focused support tend to find her approach useful. She works collaboratively to set goals and track small wins. That steady, practical focus is meant to help people move toward a more stable, satisfying life.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for addictions, stuck patterns, and decisions that feel overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can reduce distress and build better coping skills for mood, anxiety, and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than sticking to one method without feedback.

Please confirm current session options before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy day, cut commuting time, and make it easier to keep consistent check-ins. Others prefer shorter phone check-ins or video meetings for deeper conversation; the therapist will discuss which option best supports a client's goals and daily life.
