About Felicia
Felicia Bates is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 24 years of experience. She is licensed in Indiana and has a long history helping people manage everyday problems related to family, loss, and emotional strain.
She works with people who are dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anxiety, and anger. Felicia also supports those facing career stress, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and caregiving responsibilities. Her practice includes people coping with change, abandonment issues, blended family problems, and serious medical or caregiving stress.
In sessions she relies on practical, hands-on strategies rather than jargon. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral approaches, mindfulness, acceptance work, and client-centered talking to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on elements of dialectical behavior therapy when emotions are intense.
Felicia focuses on clear goals and steady steps. She helps clients build skills for handling stress, improving communication, and managing anger so problems feel more manageable day to day. She pays attention to what is realistic for each person’s life and pace.
Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are not accepted at this time.
How Felicia uses online sessions and evidence-based approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward what matters. It helps when anger or grief get in the way of daily life by shifting attention to actions that fit your goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It provides clear exercises to test unhelpful thinking and practice different responses to triggers like workplace frustration or recurring resentment.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches noticing emotions without immediate reaction. Learning brief grounding and attention skills can lower the intensity of anger and make it easier to choose a different response.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Felicia will meet you where you are and collaborate on which approaches fit your needs, goals, and preferences. Together you will try strategies and adjust what you do based on what helps.
Confirm current session formats before booking so you know how sessions are run. Many people find online sessions useful for fitting therapy into busy days, shortening commute time, or making it easier to follow up between appointments. Ask about the available scheduling and format options when you sign up so arrangements match your routine.
