About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a licensed mental health counselor with two decades of clinical experience. She holds an LMHC and an LCPC and practices with clients from Idaho and beyond.
Her background centers on helping people manage addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting stress, and mood concerns like bipolar disorder. She believes people know their own stories and that strengths already exist to build on. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Background and approach
The tone is supportive and direct, aimed at reducing overwhelm and helping clients take manageable steps forward. Her work draws on approaches that emphasize values, emotional connection, and learning new coping skills. She incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-informed ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when helpful.
These tools are used to address patterns that keep people stuck and to teach clearer ways to respond under stress. Dr. Felder-Jones emphasizes collaboration.
She helps people set goals, test small changes, and notice what works. Sessions are practical and paced to each person’s needs and situation. People choose this style when they want steady support, real skills to try, and someone who respects their experience.
The work is aimed at making daily life feel more manageable and meaningful over time.
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings come up. It is useful for addiction, mood struggles, and situations that leave people stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and offers ways to build more stable connections and better emotional communication. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding without judgment, allowing people to lead the pace and topics of sessions and feel heard as they sort through challenges.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose approaches that match a person's goals, comfort level, and life situation. Together they try techniques, notice what helps, and adjust direction over time so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people read facial cues and practice new interaction patterns, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging allows short updates or continued reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied schedules while keeping the work focused on practical change.
