About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana and Texas with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions common in early adulthood, including career and identity questions.

Felicia draws mainly on client-centered and cognitive behavioral ideas to guide sessions. She focuses on practical steps clients can take to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Conversations are grounded in real problems like work stress, breakup recovery, and shifting family roles.

Her background includes long-term clinical work with a diverse range of people and familiarity with military family life. That experience informs how she approaches issues such as relocation, caregiving strain, and patterns that repeat across relationships.

Felicia also addresses trauma, grief, addictions, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She often helps people untangle family of origin patterns, codependency, and commitment worries so they can make clearer choices.

Sessions typically combine listening and reflection with concrete tools from cognitive behavioral and solution-focused methods. Clients who want a practical, relational approach to coping with change and building healthier habits may find this style helpful.

How her approaches work in online sessions

Felicia uses client-centered methods that emphasize listening and collaboration. This approach focuses on what matters most to the client and supports them in making their own decisions about goals and next steps.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavior changes that help reduce anxiety, depressive symptoms, and unhelpful patterns in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Felicia will talk with clients about goals, preferences, and day-to-day demands to decide which methods to use. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, since the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so sessions can happen between work or school obligations. Licensed professionals can also adapt exercises for video or phone conversations depending on what works best for the client.
