Felecia Berry, LMSW

Felecia Berry is a Michigan-based licensed master social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and relationship struggles. She brings 25 years of practice to each session and focuses on practical steps clients can use right away. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at helping people cope after painful events and rebuild a sense of safety and direction.

She uses tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and trauma-focused approaches to identify patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on small changes that reduce symptoms, improve mood, and make daily life easier. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when emotions feel overwhelming and someone needs steady skills to manage intense moments.

Felecia has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, human trafficking, survivors of homicide, and other forms of abuse and loss. She pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions and helps clients practice new responses in daily life. Forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation, and self-love are regular topics in her work.

Her approach treats the client as the expert of their own story. She offers support, concrete techniques, and steady guidance while people make difficult changes. Therapy is paced to fit each person’s needs and goals.

Sessions are provided to individuals living in Michigan. Felecia emphasizes small, manageable steps so people can feel better in their everyday lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Felecia uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into concrete parts so clients can test small changes and see what helps reduce anxiety or depression.

She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past hurts that continue to impact daily life. This work focuses on understanding how trauma shaped reactions and on practicing ways to feel more in control and less triggered by reminders.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they try techniques and adjust the plan based on what works in real life.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video works well for deeper conversations and practicing skills visually. Phone calls can be a simpler way to check in when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging make it easier to have shorter check-ins or to write through thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people balancing work, caregiving, or variable schedules.
