About Felicia
Felicia Ponce is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She lists anger among the concerns she addresses alongside stress, anxiety, relationships, parenting, trauma, depression, and other life challenges. Felicia focuses on helping people understand patterns that lead to outbursts, manage tension with loved ones, and handle frustration that builds over time.
Her early career included five years at a private non-profit clinic serving children and their families, followed by four years providing educationally related mental health services in a high school district. She later moved into independent practice and has also taught as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University. Those roles shaped a practical approach to everyday problems.
In sessions she leans on a person-centered style that keeps the client in charge of their hour. That means listening first, asking curious questions, and helping people name what matters to them. She pairs that stance with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Family Systems ideas to spot patterns and try new responses.
Felicia uses mindfulness tools and motivational interviewing techniques to support change without pressure. She emphasizes trauma-informed care in her work and draws on her experience with trauma and abuse when those issues arise. Her manner is described as laid back and collaborative, with a focus on concrete goals.
People who come for help can expect a practical, steady clinician who values clear teamwork. She encourages scheduling an initial session to begin identifying small, manageable steps toward fewer angry episodes and better coping.
How her methods translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people see patterns in how they react to closeness and distance, which can reduce anger that comes from feeling misunderstood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client’s perspective, with the therapist offering curiosity and reflection to help people find their own solutions; this approach supports steady progress and clearer communication during conflicts.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT tools for immediate behavior changes while using attachment ideas to understand deeper patterns, and adjusting as needed.
The practical benefit of online sessions is that they can fit more easily into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Online work can make it simpler to schedule shorter check-ins, reduce travel time, and join a session during a break from work. Therapists and licensed professionals often find that remote sessions let clients practice skills in real situations and then discuss what happened in the next meeting.
