About Felicia

Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, grief, identity and LGBT concerns, parenting pressures, career transitions, and issues common to young adults such as feeling behind or coping with life changes.

Felicia spent much of her career working with adolescents in the juvenile justice system and with clients served by state mental health, social services, and vocational rehabilitation programs. In the last seven years she has extended her practice through contracted work to include young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults across a range of challenges.

Her style is collaborative and client-centered. She combines practical strategies with guided reflection so clients can try small steps between sessions and notice what helps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) are regular parts of her work when managing mood, anxiety, or anger.

Felicia also uses mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing to support change and increase awareness of patterns that cause distress. Trauma-focused approaches and grief counseling are used when past events or loss are central to a person's concerns.

Before the first session she invites clients to share anything they think is helpful for her to know. That information helps shape initial goals and makes the first meetings more focused.

How Felicia’s approaches work in online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. The therapist helps people name goals, reflect on what matters to them, and try small, practical changes between sessions. This suits issues like feeling stuck after college, relationship confusion, or low self esteem.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises and homework to test unhelpful beliefs and build coping skills. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress related to early adult life transitions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotion and improving interpersonal effectiveness. Practical techniques include grounding, emotion regulation, and improved communication - useful for anger, relationship conflict, and overwhelming anxiety.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to choose methods based on goals, needs, and preferences and will adjust those methods as work progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy student or work schedule, cut out travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day. Talk with the therapist during the matching steps about how sessions can fit into everyday life and which practical arrangements will work best for you.
