About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones brings 20 years of clinical experience to her practice. She is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC).
Dr. Felder-Jones works from Idaho and speaks English. She believes people know their own stories and that therapy helps them reclaim their strengths step by step.
Her approach centers on listening closely and asking questions that open new ways of seeing a problem.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings. She aims to make the work clear and manageable, especially for parents dealing with stress and people facing addiction or trauma. Dr.
Felder-Jones draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite harmful storylines. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build small, steady actions toward them. Cognitive Behavioral techniques help identify thoughts and routines that keep problems stuck.
People come to her for relationship struggles, parenting strain, bipolar concerns, trauma, or substance-related problems. She also supports issues like attachment wounds, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and commitment questions. Her practice pays attention to how past experiences shape present choices.
Therapy sessions can include conversations about goals, short exercises, and experimenting with new responses. The aim is to leave each session with something concrete to try. Dr.
Felder-Jones frames therapy as a collaborative effort where the client’s experience leads the work.

Online session options
Approaches that guide online work and practical care
Dr. Felder-Jones often draws on Narrative Therapy to help clients separate themselves from unhelpful stories and rewrite those narratives in ways that feel more true. This approach can be useful for people coping with past trauma, identity questions, or recurring relationship patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and building small actions that align with those values. ACT can help with anxiety, mood fluctuations, and sticking with changes over time. Attachment-Based Therapy is another influence; it looks at how early relationship experiences shape current trust, closeness, and conflict, and it supports practice of new relational habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each client to choose methods that match goals, values, and daily life. That means trying strategies together, adjusting them, and keeping what helps while letting go of what doesn’t.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets clients fit therapy into busy schedules. Video is good for a full conversation and visual cues, phone works well when internet or bandwidth is limited, chat or text can be easier for short check-ins or step-by-step coaching. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and try approaches consistently across weeks and months.
