Felicia Ponce

Felicia Ponce is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, LGBTQ issues, eating and intimacy-related struggles, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She has practiced since completing her master’s degree in 2010 and brings 14 years of experience to sessions. Felicia aims to make the therapy hour feel like a safe space where clients can be heard and understood.

Felicia spent several years at a private nonprofit clinic working with children and their families. She then provided educationally related mental health services within a high school district for four years. After those roles she moved into independent practice and also taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University.

Her approach centers on being curious about each person’s experience and listening without judgment. She draws from a client-centered framework to help people uncover their own solutions. Felicia also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based ideas, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and Mindfulness Therapy to structure conversations and skill practice.

She emphasizes trauma-informed care and keeps treatment focused on collaboration and clear goals. Sessions typically involve noticing patterns, trying small experiments between meetings, and building skills to respond differently to stressors. Felicia describes herself as somewhat laid back and aims to make the hour feel fully devoted to the client’s concerns.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Fees are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time and vary with location and availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Felicia integrates Mindfulness Therapy, attachment-based ideas, and a client-centered framework into her work. Mindfulness Therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress or anxiety. Attachment-based approaches look at patterns in relationships and help people understand how early bonds influence present-day connections and emotional responses. A client-centered stance means the therapist stays curious, listens closely, and helps the person lead the direction of the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She collaborates with each client to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying short exercises, reflecting on what helps most, and adjusting the plan over time so it feels useful and realistic.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. Remote sessions can also help people access consistent care from different locations and schedule appointments around work or family obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt mindfulness and attachment-based exercises to an online setting so clients can practice skills between meetings.
