About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed mental health counselor with 20 years of professional experience. She is licensed as an LMHC in Washington and as an LCPC in Idaho. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with addictions, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and bipolar-related challenges.
She approaches work as a collaborative process and sees clients as the experts on their own lives. Sessions aim to build on each person's strengths and practical skills. The therapist emphasizes small, achievable steps and supports people as they try out new ways of coping.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice across a range of concerns related to attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics. She also addresses issues connected to chronic illness, caregiving stress, body image, and complex co-morbidity. This variety has shaped a practical style that centers on problem-solving and emotional regulation.
Dr. Felder-Jones uses several evidence-informed approaches in sessions, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. These approaches are used to help people notice patterns, manage strong emotions, and make values-based choices.
She encourages people to take their first step toward change with patience and self-compassion. The work emphasizes empowerment, manageable goals, and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to change feelings and outcomes; it can help with addiction triggers, mood shifts, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many clients find online sessions help fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow appointments during breaks or from different locations. Others prefer in-person meetings when available; the therapist will help figure out what fits each person's routine and access needs.
