About Felicia

Felicia Kellen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in Minnesota. She brings six years of licensed practice to work with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, depression, and family concerns. Her style is calm and straightforward, aimed at helping parents and families find practical ways forward.

Felicia emphasizes an open, non-judgmental atmosphere. She aims to build a relaxed relationship where people feel heard and can set their own goals.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on collaboration so clients guide the pace and direction of the work. She uses a mix of therapies to address problems from different angles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Mindfulness techniques help people manage stress and bodily reactions. Narrative and psychodynamic ideas support looking at life stories and patterns that shape feelings and relationships. Felicia also has experience with adoption and foster care issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, postpartum and pregnancy-related concerns, and trauma related to sexual assault and domestic violence.

She works with mood disorders, grief, anger, self-esteem, and youth concerns such as disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD). Her approach includes some body-based strategies to calm the nervous system alongside talk-based work, and she adapts methods to fit each person. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give families flexible options.

Therapeutic approaches for online family and parenting work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting relationship and listening to what matters most to the family. It helps parents and caregivers feel respected and guides sessions by the goals they set.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It can help with anxiety, mood problems, parenting stress, and recurring patterns that interfere with daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy offers simple practices to manage stress and bodily reactions. These techniques are useful for calming strong emotions and improving focus during parenting challenges.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person or family to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Choices are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving families flexible ways to connect. This makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and keep continuity of care when life gets hectic. Licensed professionals can use these formats to offer skills, guidance, and support in ways that match each family's routine.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
