About Skytina
Dr. Skytina Felder-Jones is a Washington-licensed clinician with 20 years of professional experience who practices in Idaho. She works with people dealing with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and bipolar-related challenges. She draws on a range of approaches to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes.
She starts from the view that each person knows important parts of their own story. That belief shapes sessions: conversations focus on what the client already does well and on building skills that fit daily life. Sessions are straightforward and goal-oriented, with space to talk through past hurts and current obstacles.
Her background includes long-term clinical work across multiple settings. Over two decades she has used methods from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help clients identify unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect present behavior.
Practical tools, direct feedback, and emotion regulation skills are common elements in her work. She may introduce exercises from dialectical behavior therapy when intense emotions or self-destructive urges are present. The emphasis is on skills people can use between sessions to reduce distress and improve relationships.
People who prefer clear, action-focused conversations tend to find this style useful. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to talk about goals and next steps.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, avoidance, and problems that feel hard to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical strategies to test and change them. CBT is often used for addictions, relationship problems, and mood concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship experiences shape current ways of relating and can help when patterns from the past cause pain in present relationships.Finding the right approach tends to be collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to focus on and adjust the plan as progress or new issues arise.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full session is not needed. It also lets the therapist assign between-session exercises that clients can practice in their daily routines. If an international client is considering sessions, confirm time zones and session options at the start so scheduling and expectations are clear.
