About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Louisiana. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and intimacy-related issues. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction, ADHD, and life transitions. With 25 years of experience, Felicia brings a warm, relational style to sessions. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people set realistic goals they can reach. Sessions tend to be collaborative and practical, with attention to what each person needs in the moment. Her approach is primarily client-centered, meaning she follows the person’s concerns and priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice patterns and try specific changes. This mix is used to address worries, low mood, and problems that affect daily life. Felicia has worked with people from many backgrounds, and she has personal experience with military family life. She can help people sort through family of origin issues, communication problems, caregiver stress, and commitment or control concerns. She also addresses fertility and parenting-related strain when those come up. Her aim is to help people move toward better functioning at their own pace. She emphasizes practical steps and clear goals while keeping the relationship respectful and supportive. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on the clinician’s availability.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Felicia uses a client-centered approach that focuses on the person’s priorities and pace. This means sessions start with what matters most to the client and build from there, helping people feel heard and involved in planning next steps.

She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which uses clear, practical techniques to identify thought and behavior patterns and test new ways of responding. CBT can be helpful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily stressors. Solution-focused elements aim for small, concrete changes and short-term goals that move a person forward between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Felicia will work together with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time if something isn’t working or priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking to learn which online formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow brief check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find that practical, goal-oriented approaches translate well to remote sessions and support steady progress.
