About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a Washington-licensed clinician holding LMHC and LCPC credentials with 20 years of professional experience. She works with adults on addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and bipolar-related coping. Dr. Felder-Jones emphasizes that people know their own stories and brings that perspective into practical work together.
Her approach puts the client's goals at the center. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady steps people can use between meetings. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different responses to those patterns.
Dr. Felder-Jones draws on therapies that include acceptance and commitment work, attachment-based ideas, client-centered techniques, cognitive behavioral methods, and dialectical behavior strategies. She uses these to address emotional regulation, relationship patterns, and repetitive behaviors like addiction or codependency.
With two decades of practice, she has experience across a range of concerns such as abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, and commitment difficulties. That breadth lets her connect specific life problems to practical steps a person can try.
People meeting her can expect direct conversation about what’s getting in the way and what small changes might help. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins to track progress.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values while accepting difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with persistent worries, avoidance, and addictive patterns by shifting attention toward meaningful steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now. It helps people notice how they relate to others and try new ways of connecting when old patterns cause distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then try methods that match those aims. That collaborative process means adjustments over time rather than a fixed plan up front.
Session logistics should fit into everyday life. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit around work, study, or caregiving because they reduce travel and make short check-ins possible. Others prefer longer meetings when tackling deep relationship or trauma issues. Licensed professionals can try different rhythms and tools in virtual meetings, such as worksheet-based CBT practice, mindfulness exercises drawn from ACT, or skills rehearsal from DBT, so therapy can be practical and workable alongside daily responsibilities.
