Felecia Arthur, LISW

Felecia Arthur is a licensed independent social worker with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate trauma, intimacy concerns, relationship struggles, and depression. She uses straightforward language and a calm approach to make conversations easier to start. Her background includes work with adolescents involved in the juvenile system, older adults, and people with diverse mental health needs. That experience shaped skills in risk assessment, treatment planning, and tracking progress. She adapts how she communicates so people of different ages and situations can follow along. In sessions she listens closely and asks practical questions to identify what is most pressing. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused methods to address unhelpful thinking and the effects of past hurt. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness practices to teach emotion regulation and stress management skills. Felecia aims to make therapy a space for steady, realistic change rather than quick fixes. She works with each person to set clear goals and measures progress along the way. Her style is supportive and direct, with an emphasis on skills people can use between sessions. People who are seeking help for mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, relationship patterns, or self-harm concerns may find her approach practical and focused. She provides care in Ohio and conducts sessions in English.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Felecia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT focuses on small, practical steps and homework exercises that translate well to remote sessions. She also incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy to address the effects of past hurt, using paced conversations and grounding techniques to reduce symptoms and build safety in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then suggest strategies and adjust plans as needed. Clients and the therapist check progress together and change course when something is not working.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are helpful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules.
