About Felicia
Felicia Ponce is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She helps people deal with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting struggles, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, self esteem concerns, and other life changes. Her tone in sessions is calm and approachable, and she treats the therapeutic hour as the client's time to be heard.
Felicia trained as a therapist after earning her master's degree in 2010 and has 14 years of experience in the field. Early in her career she worked at a independent nonprofit clinic with children and their families for five years. She then provided educationally related mental health services in a high school district for four years, and later moved into independent practice.
She also has experience teaching as an adjunct lecturer in undergraduate and graduate psychology programs at a California State University. Those roles shaped her practical, hands-on approach and deepened her interest in human connection and abnormal psychology.
In sessions she draws heavily on client-centered work to stay curious about each person's experience. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and attachment-informed ideas to help people identify patterns and try new strategies. Felicia emphasizes trauma-informed care and holds a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional credential.
Her style is collaborative and respectful. She describes herself as somewhat laid back and works with clients to set goals and try small, realistic steps toward change. People seeking steadier self esteem, clearer coping skills, or better ways to handle relationship strain may find this approach helpful.
