Felicia Nicosia , LCPC, LMHC

Felicia Nicosia brings 18 years of clinical experience to her counseling work, combining formal training with a broad range of treatment settings to support people through change. She holds the LCPC credential - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor - and the LMHC credential - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and earned a master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University in Chicago. Her background includes traditional outpatient counseling, inpatient psychiatric care, foster care and parent coaching, crisis intervention, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and art therapy, giving her a versatile perspective on healing and recovery.

Felicia practices from an Adlerian foundation while drawing on an eclectic set of techniques tailored to each person’s needs. She approaches clients with a holistic view that considers environmental and lifestyle factors such as health conditions, stress, sleep, nutrition, exercise, recreation, sexuality, and spiritual expression. That broad lens helps her address presenting concerns ranging from stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma to relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, grief and loss, career transitions, and mood disorders including bipolar conditions.

As a person of faith, she is comfortable working with individuals at any point in their spiritual journey and with or without a formal religious affiliation. Felicia works with adults across the lifespan and aims to provide support marked by warmth, hopefulness, cultural sensitivity, and genuine care. Her style is collaborative and respectful, focused on helping people identify practical coping strategies and meaningful goals as they move toward change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Felicia integrates several evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, regulate emotions, and pursue meaningful change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people clarify personal values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to relieve symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood disorders through practical skills and structured exercises. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers genuineness and unconditional positive regard to help clients explore their experience and grow at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Felicia works collaboratively with each person to determine which strategies fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts methods as progress unfolds so treatment stays relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Felicia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to accommodate different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, caregiving responsibilities, geographic moves, or when in-person visits are difficult, while still allowing licensed professionals to provide consistent support and practical tools for change.
