Felicia Kellen , LMFT

Felicia Kellen is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in southwest Minnesota. She has six years of clinical experience and has provided direct mental health services to children, teens, and families, working with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, relationship and family difficulties, grief, anger, and low self-esteem.

Felicia emphasizes building a relaxed, open, and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship, approaching each person with sensitivity and respect for their unique story. She favors a collaborative process in which clients help set goals and guide the pace and focus of work so they feel heard and empowered throughout treatment.

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-hour yoga teacher training, and she integrates body-based techniques alongside other evidence-informed methods. While she often finds somatic approaches helpful for calming the body s natural responses to trauma and stress, she recognizes these methods are not a fit for everyone and remains open to alternate strategies.

Felicia aims to support and empower individuals and families who are ready to take steps toward greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Felicia integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness-based approaches into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the therapist follows the client s lead and supports self-directed growth - it is helpful for improving self-esteem, communication, and relational concerns. CBT helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical skills to manage emotional reactivity and reduce rumination, which can support coping with trauma, anxiety, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Felicia collaborates with each person to tailor interventions to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to ensure they fit the client s comfort and progress.

Online sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuity of care across distances within the region, and make it easier to access therapy from home or other convenient locations. These options support regular engagement and make it simpler to practice skills between sessions under the guidance of a licensed professional.
