Hello, I am Dr. Felice Gerber, a psychologist who has been practicing for close to 30 years. I am currently based out of Connecticut. I work with clients who are struggling with depression or anxiety and assist them with developing effective coping skills to manage these feelings. In addition, I assist clients with ways to cope with life transitions including: marriage, divorce, new jobs, career changes, and relocation. I focus on identifying ways to empower my clients in their own lives.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
During our first session, I will get to know you as a person. I will be sensitive to your needs and assist you in identifying goals for therapy. I try to take into account cultural factors as well and always strive to be client-centered. We will establish an "action plan" together.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a professional are my ability to be a good listener, my extensive experience in the field of mental health with a variety of populations, and my sensitivity to my clients needs.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive behavioral therapy to assist clients with identifying the relationship between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It has been successfully employed to assist people gain a better understanding of how their thoughts influence their emotions and their subsequent behaviors. By engaging in this process, together we can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression.
Motivational Interviewing
I use motivational interviewing (MI) to determine client's readiness to change dysfunctional behaviors. MI can be used across many avenues including: depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and addictive behaviors . Depending on one's level of motivation, I tailor my therapeutic approach to ensure the greatest chance of success and behavioral change.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
My approach to therapy is always person-centered. The client's needs come first and together we can work on the issues identified by the client, rather than imposed upon them. I focus on a non-judgemental, empathic approach to my work.
Integrative
I have experience working with clients with co-occurring disorders and use an integrated approach to working with them. It is important to understand the connections between substance use and mental health. A wholistic approach takes into account mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects of an individual's life.
