About Skytina

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed counselor with two decades of experience. She holds credentials as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC).

Based in Idaho, she focuses on practical help for people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. She starts by listening. She treats each person as the expert on their life and looks for what is already working.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to build on strengths and teach skills that make daily life easier. Dr. Felder-Jones uses straightforward language and clear steps so parents can understand and use them right away.

Her approach mixes several evidence-based methods. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Client-Centered methods. That lets her tailor sessions to what a person needs most, whether managing mood, coping with past hurt, or changing unhelpful patterns.

People can expect a collaborative style. The therapist helps set realistic goals and practices new skills during sessions. She emphasizes concrete tools for managing emotions, improving relationships, and handling parenting stresses.

Over time, work with Dr. Felder-Jones aims to increase day-to-day coping and make relationships easier to navigate. Her long experience informs practical options without jargon.

She encourages steady progress at a pace that fits each person's life.

Therapeutic approaches for online support

Dr. Felder-Jones uses several practical approaches that translate well to online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values; it can help people manage difficult feelings without getting stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people create safer, more supported ways of relating to others online or in life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce stress and improve daily routines.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works with each person to identify which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Sessions are collaborative: together they decide what to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls provide face-to-face interaction, phone sessions let you talk from anywhere, and live chat or text messaging supports short check-ins or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to practice skills in real life and stay connected when schedules change.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

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.
