About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a Washington-licensed clinician holding LMHC and LCPC credentials with 20 years of professional experience. She works from Idaho and speaks English. Her practice includes work with addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar-related issues.
Dr. Felder-Jones approaches clients as the experts in their own lives. She listens for strengths and helps people use those strengths to face hard situations. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She encourages practical steps and honest conversation rather than complicated jargon.
In sessions she draws on cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and next steps. Attachment-based methods guide work on emotional bonds and relational patterns that keep people stuck. Dialectical behavior techniques and client-centered listening are also part of how she supports coping and emotional regulation.
People often come to her for help with shame, guilt, or feeling stuck after trauma or relationship problems. She also works with complicated issues like abandonment, adoption and foster-care concerns, blended family stress, body image, chronic illness, caregiver strain, and elements of kink and alternative sex culture. She addresses co-occurring problems rather than treating a single symptom in isolation.

How specific approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. In online sessions this can mean short exercises to clarify what matters and small, concrete steps to try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing thinking patterns that keep problems going. Virtually, CBT often uses worksheets, thought records, and targeted practice to shift reactions to shame or guilt.Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That collaboration can mean blending ACT, CBT, and attachment-informed conversation until a useful mix emerges.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example sessions can be scheduled around work breaks or caregiving duties. Some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or homework-focused sessions when time is limited. Ask about format options when scheduling to pick a rhythm that matches everyday needs.
