About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones brings two decades of clinical experience to her practice. She is licensed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington and as a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Idaho.
She focuses on practical support for people coping with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar disorder. She listens first and tailors work to each person's goals. Sessions aim to build on strengths and develop clear coping steps.
Background and approach
Her style blends empathy with straightforward tools so clients can see small changes that add up. Dr. Felder-Jones uses approaches drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns.
She also uses Attachment-Based methods and Client-Centered techniques to support emotional connection and self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need emotion regulation and coping strategies. Her practice includes work on related areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and co-morbidity.
She also addresses commitment issues, codependency, and some personality-related concerns in therapy. Sessions are available to English-speaking clients in Idaho and internationally. Dr.
Felder-Jones aims to make therapy a practical, collaborative process that helps people move toward a more manageable and meaningful life.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and making steady choices during recovery. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with practical experiments and new habits to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. That means trying different tools, tracking what helps, and adjusting the plan together so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller session is helpful. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint between sessions is useful. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, consistent follow-up, and continued access to licensed professionals regardless of location.
