About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Louisiana. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. Her plain, steady approach aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling work, parenting, or medical and family stresses.

Felicia draws on 25 years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Louisiana and Texas. She keeps sessions warm and relational, listening first to what matters most to each person. Her style centers on the client's goals and preferences rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her work often blends client-centered listening with practical cognitive tools. This means people can expect open conversation about their feelings alongside steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also incorporates solution-focused ideas to set small, achievable goals between sessions.

Felicia has supported people with a wide range of concerns, including trauma, grief, addiction, parenting stress, ADHD, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She mentions experience connected to military family life as part of her background.

Sessions aim to help people gain clearer priorities and workable strategies for day-to-day life. Felicia encourages collaborative planning so clients leave with concrete next steps. To begin, readers should use the site's Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and responding to each person's experience. The therapist focuses on understanding priorities and building a trusting conversation to help clients find their own direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to stress or low mood. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new ways of responding, and practicing small skills between visits to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on concrete goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want. Sessions often include setting short-term goals and tracking progress so changes feel achievable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss the options, listen to concerns and priorities, and recommend a mix of methods based on needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can shift as goals change.

If you plan to use online therapy, confirm which session formats are offered before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make scheduling easier, help fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. The therapist will talk with each person to choose a rhythm and format that suits their everyday life.
