Felicity Palma , LPCC, LMHC

Felicity Palma is a licensed LPCC and LMHC who uses a client-focused approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She practices in Florida and brings five years of experience to sessions. She often supports women facing workplace stress, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

She prefers clear, practical work in the room. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on real steps a person can try between meetings. She blends client-centered listening with tools drawn from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.

Felicity also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping skills for intense emotions and distress tolerance. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions goal-oriented and efficient so people see concrete progress. Existential conversations may be used when clients want to tackle meaning, purpose, or identity questions.

Common concerns she addresses include grief, addictions, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, and adjustment to life changes. She also helps with issues like caregiver stress, chronic illness, codependency, and isolation. Sessions are offered in English for people located in Florida.

Felicity aims to build a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can name their priorities and practice new ways of coping. She encourages small steps and ongoing reflection so change feels manageable. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Felicity blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and can pursue their own goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change thinking patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety or depression. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try first. That may mean trying skill-based CBT techniques for a while, then adding DBT-oriented exercises or having open conversations about purpose and values.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for quick reflections, journaling-style exchanges, or when someone prefers written communication. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy schedules.
