About Felicity

Felicity Palma is a licensed professional counselor of clinical counseling (LPCC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida with five years of experience. She works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life changes. Her practice also lists addictions, relationship issues, grief, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and feelings of guilt and shame among the areas she helps people address.

Felicity uses straightforward, talk-based work to help people make sense of what they are feeling. She combines client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. That means sessions often include focused conversation, skills practice, and collaborative planning for small changes between meetings.

She pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. That can include exploring trauma, abandonment, or family patterns that leave people stuck with shame or self-blame. Sessions may also cover communication problems, codependency, and coping with chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Felicity supports people dealing with addiction, substance use concerns, eating and food-related issues, and impulsivity. She also addresses life stage concerns such as aging, hospice and end-of-life planning, and caregiver strain. Her background includes work with mood fluctuations and the practical effects of ADHD on daily life.

Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. People who come to her typically work on clear, manageable steps such as improving coping skills, rebuilding routine, or repairing important relationships. To start, users complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform's matching flow.

How her approaches transfer to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can find their own solutions. In online sessions this looks like open conversation and steady feedback to clarify what matters most in a person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thought, behavior, and feeling patterns and tests small changes. Online CBT typically uses short exercises, thought records, and homework that can be reviewed between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing emotions, tolerating distress, and improving communication; those skills can be practiced in sessions and applied during daily routines.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT techniques, client-centered reflection, or a mix of methods based on the person's needs.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online appointments help fit therapy into a busy life - for example, they can avoid travel, schedule short check-ins during a break, or use sessions when they have quieter surroundings. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable within daily routines rather than requiring a major schedule change.
