About Felicia
Felicia Nicosia welcomes people who are ready to make changes and want steady support while navigating stress, anxiety, grief, life transitions, mood concerns, or relationship and intimacy challenges.
Background and approach
She draws on 18 years of professional experience to help clients develop practical coping strategies and clarify values so they can move forward with greater resilience. Felicia holds licensure as an LCPC in Illinois and an LMHC in Florida and completed a master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy at Adler University in Chicago.
Her clinical background includes work in traditional outpatient counseling, inpatient psychiatric settings, foster care and parent coaching, crisis counseling, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and art therapy, which inform a flexible, person-focused approach. Her therapeutic style blends acceptance and commitment principles, client-centered listening, cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior strategies, and solution-focused interventions to tailor care to each individual’s needs.
Felicia also attends to broader factors such as health, sleep, stress, recreation, and spiritual expression when helping clients set realistic goals and build sustainable change.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Felicia frequently integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online work. ACT emphasizes identifying personal values and learning practical skills to accept difficult thoughts while taking committed action toward meaningful goals, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and mood disorders, offering structured tools for day-to-day challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Felicia collaborates with clients to determine which methods align best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts interventions from client-centered, DBT, and solution-focused traditions when those perspectives support a client’s progress, and she reviews options together so each plan feels practical and personalized.
Online therapy with Felicia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or geographic constraints, and they allow clients to engage in evidence-informed interventions from locations that work for them.
