About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with 25 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions. Her style is warm and relational, aimed at helping clients move toward clearer goals and better day-to-day functioning.

She uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions focus on what each person brings and what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas often shape the work, helping people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small, doable steps that lead to quicker relief.

Her background includes work with people facing depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, trauma, grief, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. She has experience with issues around intimacy, communication, codependency, and feelings of emptiness. She has also been part of a military family, which informs her understanding of related stresses.

Felicia holds LPC credentials in Louisiana and Texas. She meets people where they are and adjusts the pace and focus to fit individual needs. Sessions emphasize practical strategies alongside empathetic listening.

People who want a collaborative, straightforward therapist may find her approach helpful. She aims to partner with clients to set clear goals, try manageable steps, and track progress over time.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Felicia commonly blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused techniques. Client-centered Therapy means the session follows the person’s needs and priorities, with the therapist offering empathetic listening and reflection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and introduces practical tools to change them. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on small, concrete steps and strengths that can produce quick improvements.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaboration. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will decide what methods to try first and what to adjust over time. The plan can be changed as progress and needs evolve.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. They can also support shorter check-ins or more flexible scheduling to accommodate work, caregiving, or other commitments.
