Felisha Tillman, LPC-MHSP

Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses a warm and direct style to help people feel heard and understood. Many come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or exhausted from carrying emotional burdens alone.

She focuses on identifying patterns that keep people in survival mode and on building practical ways to cope. Sessions mix clear goals with tools you can use right away, such as skills for regulating emotions and improving communication. The approach is structured but still compassionate, with attention to safety and trust.

Tillman draws on several evidence-based methods when they fit a person's needs, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness-rooted acceptance work. Therapy also emphasizes understanding emotions, setting boundaries, and restoring confidence. She brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Tennessee.

Her background includes work in community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. That experience informs how she supports people through grief, substance use concerns, burnout, and life transitions. Sessions aim to move people from merely surviving toward living with more clarity and purpose.

People who choose her can expect collaborative sessions that set measurable goals and track progress. The focus is on practical change: fewer overwhelming reactions, clearer communication, and more reliable ways to cope with painful memories and strong emotions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing actions that align with personal values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and patterns of avoidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches specific strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and processing strong emotions to improve emotional clarity and relationships; it can help with grief, attachment concerns, and emotional numbness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made and new challenges appear.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling around work and caregiving and the ability to continue care without travel. Because session formats are not specified in the profile, confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can allow focused skill practice, shorter check-ins when needed, and consistent weekly or biweekly support that fits into everyday life.
