About Felicia

Felicia Nicosia offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, mood disorders, and major life transitions.

Background and approach

She approaches each person with warmth and practical direction, helping them explore coping strategies for challenges such as trauma and abuse, relationship and family problems, parenting concerns, sleep difficulties, career questions, and issues related to ADHD, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her practice also addresses concerns tied to aging, isolation, guilt and shame, life purpose, and women’s health concerns.

With 18 years of clinical experience, Felicia draws on a variety of therapeutic methods to tailor care to individual needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.

She holds licensure as an LCPC and an LMHC and works from a holistic perspective that considers factors such as stress, sleep, exercise, and spiritual life when relevant. Her style emphasizes genuine support, cultural sensitivity, and collaborative problem solving to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Felicia often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to improve mood and daily functioning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses; ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to actions that align with those values. Client-Centered Therapy informs her relational stance, prioritizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaborative exploration to help clients feel heard and understood.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to assess goals, preferences, and the presenting concerns, then adapt methods from CBT, ACT, or client-centered work as appropriate. This partnership helps ensure the chosen strategies fit the individual’s needs and evolve over time as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to access care from home or work. These formats offer flexibility in how and when people connect with a licensed professional, supporting continuity of care and ongoing skill practice between sessions.
