About Skytina

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones brings two decades of clinical experience to her work as a licensed mental health counselor and licensed clinical professional counselor.

Background and approach

She is licensed in Washington and practices with a focus on helping people who are coping with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and bipolar-related concerns.

Her background also includes work with issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, aging and geriatric issues, attachment difficulties, and a broad range of co-occurring concerns including codependency and chronic illness.

Her style centers on respecting each person as the expert on their own life while offering guidance and evidence-informed methods to build strengths and manage distress. Dr.

Felder-Jones draws on approaches like Internal Family Systems and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside attachment-informed and client-centered techniques to tailor care to what matters most to the individual. She emphasizes collaboration, practical skills, and steady support for people taking steps toward change.

Clients will find an experienced clinician who aims to empower them through a combination of supportive listening and structured interventions, helping them identify goals and develop tools to move toward a more satisfying life.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones uses Internal Family Systems to help people explore internal parts and their roles, which can illuminate patterns behind emotional reactions and habitual behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify values and build psychological flexibility, supporting clients facing persistent worries, relationship struggles, or ongoing symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how early relational patterns shape current connections and can be useful for people working through trust, intimacy, or caregiving concerns.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work together. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try different methods, and adapt strategies based on what proves most useful for their needs and preferences. This collaborative process helps ensure that the chosen methods align with the client's values and the problems they want to address.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for varying schedules and lifestyles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care when in-person visits are difficult, and they allow ongoing contact for skill-building, check-ins, and progress toward goals with licensed professionals.
