Felicia Kellen, LMFT

Felicia Kellen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in southwest Minnesota. She has provided direct mental health services to children, teens, families, and individuals with a wide range of abilities and concerns. Her clinical work addresses issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, anger and aggression, relationship difficulties, and family dynamics.

Felicia aims to build a collaborative, relaxed, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship that honors each person’s unique experience. She approaches new relationships with sensitivity and respect, working alongside clients so they feel heard and are supported in pursuing goals they have identified in ways that feel comfortable to them.

Her formal training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Child Parent Psychotherapy (CPP), and Illness Management and Recovery. She has also completed an immersive course in Polyvagal Theory and a 200 Yoga Teacher Training, and she incorporates body-based techniques to help calm natural responses to trauma and stress. Felicia integrates these tools into a holistic, research-informed approach while remaining open to alternative methods when those better fit a client’s needs.

She emphasizes strength, resilience, and empowerment, and she offers support for those ready to take steps toward a more fulfilling life.

Choosing therapeutic approaches for online care

Felicia uses client-centered therapy to create an accepting, collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides goals and the pace of work. This approach helps with relationship concerns, parenting challenges, and building self-esteem by emphasizing empathy and partnership.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress. CBT offers practical strategies and skill-building to manage symptoms and change unhelpful habits.

Mindfulness therapy is another component Felicia integrates, using simple attention and breathing practices to help people reduce overwhelm and become more present with difficult emotions. These techniques can complement talk-based work, especially for trauma and stress-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Felicia will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.

Online therapy also offers practical benefits. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, clients can access consistent support without traveling, coordinate care around busy schedules, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can deliver effective, flexible care in formats that meet different lifestyles and circumstances.
