About Skytina

Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a Washington-licensed clinician with 20 years of professional experience. She practices as an LMHC and LCPC and works from Idaho with English-language services. Her main areas include addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting, and bipolar-related issues.

She describes clients as the experts in their own stories and builds on the strengths people already have. In sessions she meets practical problems directly. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what concrete steps feel doable next.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with people facing loss, attachment struggles, and difficult relationship patterns. She also brings experience supporting those managing medical and caregiving stress, chronic illness, and identity matters related to adoption and blended households.

Clinically she uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. That mix guides how she helps people handle strong emotions, rethink unhelpful behavior, and practice new ways of relating.

Sessions often focus on practical skills, clearer communication, and small behavior changes that add up over time. She asks about goals early and adjusts the work to match what a person wants to change. To begin, prospective clients follow the site flow to match and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed steps that match those values. It can help when emotions or habits get in the way of living how someone wants. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying out different behaviors to change outcomes. CBT is often used for relationship patterns, mood shifts, and managing distressing thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted as sessions progress.

Session format details are not listed on this profile, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online meetings easier to fit around work, childcare, or medical appointments, and some prefer shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online sessions can also reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Licensed professionals adapt tools from ACT and CBT to work in virtual sessions, using exercises, behavioral experiments, and communication practice that translate to everyday life.
