About Skytina

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed mental health counselor and licensed clinical professional counselor with 20 years of professional experience. She holds a WA LMHC and an ID LCPC and is based in Idaho. She works with adults on concerns such as addictions, relationship struggles, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder.

Her approach treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear conversations about patterns that come from the family someone grew up in. She listens for recurring roles and expectations that influence current relationships and daily choices.

Dr. Felder-Jones draws on methods like acceptance and commitment therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral strategies, client-centered listening, and dialectical behavior techniques. In practice that can mean naming a pattern, testing a small behavior change, and noticing what shifts over time. She uses these methods to address attachment concerns, abandonment issues, blended family dynamics, codependency, and related topics.

People who see her often want to reduce harmful coping, improve communication, or manage mood swings more effectively. She will help identify realistic next steps and teach concrete tools to use between sessions. Progress is discussed in simple terms and adjusted to fit everyday life.

Her background includes two decades of clinical work in community settings and direct client care. She accepts international clients and conducts work in English. Before booking, prospective clients should confirm the session formats currently offered.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for coping with addiction, mood concerns, and making steady behavior changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns from early relationships and how those patterns show up now in adult bonds. It helps when people notice repeating roles or closeness issues that stem from family of origin experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying a skills-focused CBT exercise for a few sessions, then shifting to attachment work to address deeper relationship patterns.

Formats for online work were not listed in the biography, so confirm specific session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Therapists can use the same ACT, attachment, or CBT tools in virtual sessions to practice skills, review progress, and set small experiments to try between meetings.
