About Felicia
Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Louisiana and Texas with 25 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, codependency, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with trauma, grief, addiction issues, and challenges like caregiver strain or parenting stress.
Her approach centers on building a collaborative working relationship. She uses client-centered methods that keep the person's goals and values at the center. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) shapes practical work on thoughts and behaviors. Solution-focused ideas help with short-term goal setting when people want specific, concrete change.
In sessions she listens to how problems affect daily life. She helps people clarify what they want to be different and identifies small, doable steps to get there. She pays attention to patterns such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or repeated cycles in relationships that cause exhaustion or resentment.
Clients often bring issues tied to family of origin, abandonment, codependency, or communication struggles. She also works with people experiencing mood disorders like bipolar and situations that trigger compassion fatigue. Her experience includes supporting those connected to military life.
Felicia aims to combine relational work with practical strategies. She helps people track progress and adjust the plan when needed. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Felicia uses client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her practice. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the client's priorities, which helps when people need to sort out values, relationships, or what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and behaviors and adds practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles and improve mood or anxiety.She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals during therapy. That approach is useful when someone wants targeted changes, like improving boundaries, reducing people-pleasing, or managing daily stress. The therapist and client decide together which mix of methods fits the person’s needs and goals, revising the plan as progress is tracked.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking because the profile does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, sessions that do not require travel, or options that avoid being on camera when people prefer phone work. Licensed professionals can adjust assignments, homework, and session pacing to suit an online rhythm and daily schedules.
