Felicia Nicosia

Felicia Nicosia welcomes people who are ready to make a change but feel unsure where to start. She speaks plainly about stress, anxiety, grief, career concerns, parenting strain, and mood challenges. Felicia names compassion, warmth, and steady support as the tone she brings to sessions.

She holds a Master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy from Adler University in Chicago and is licensed as an LCPC in Illinois and an LMHC in Florida. Her background includes work in inpatient psychiatric settings, foster care and parent coaching, crisis counseling, equine-assisted psychotherapy, and art therapy. That variety shapes a flexible approach to helping people manage life shifts.

Felicia uses a mix of practical methods in sessions. She pulls from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and client-centered work to match each person’s needs. Sessions focus on clear, doable steps rather than jargon-heavy explanations.

She also pays attention to everyday factors that affect wellbeing, like sleep, exercise, stress, relationships, and spiritual life. Conversations often include concrete tools for coping, skill practice, and planning small changes that add up over time.

People who meet with her can expect a respectful, engaged counselor who listens and offers hope. If someone wants help sorting priorities, improving communication, managing mood, or planning a career move, she helps them break those goals into manageable steps.

Practical approaches for online sessions

Felicia often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking committed action toward them while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when someone feels stuck by fear or uncertainty. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and offers tools to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep concerns.

She also uses client-centered principles that prioritize listening, empathy, and the client’s own goals. Together, these approaches are applied collaboratively so the person and therapist choose what feels most helpful. Felicia will talk about options and tailor methods to a person’s goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm which session formats are available before booking. Many people find online work helpful for fitting therapy into a busy schedule, maintaining regular check-ins, and practicing skills between meetings. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel time, and make it easier to keep appointments around work or caregiving commitments.
