About Felicia
Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and life changes. She brings a calm, relatable presence to sessions and aims to make therapy understandable and practical for parents and individuals under pressure. She has about 25 years of experience and holds LPC credentials in Louisiana and Texas.
Over the years she has supported people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction concerns, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She also assists those dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, and the stress of caregiving. Her style is warm and relational. She centers the conversation on each person’s goals and what feels most useful to them.
Sessions tend to focus on clear steps people can try between meetings and on building everyday coping skills. Clinically, she draws from client-centered work and cognitive behavioral ideas. That means she listens first, then helps people notice patterns in thinking and behavior that get in the way, and finds small changes that can make life feel better.
She will also use solution-focused and trauma-focused methods when they fit the situation. Felicia has lived in a military family and understands the strains that can bring. She helps with intimacy concerns, parenting stress, career pressures, fertility and family problems, and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
She encourages a practical, step-by-step approach toward better functioning. People who want a direct but compassionate counselor who will collaborate on realistic goals may find her approach helpful.
Approaches and online care that fit your life
Felicia commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client's lead so goals feel relevant and realistic. This approach helps people feel heard and keeps sessions focused on what matters most to them.She also integrates cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to distress and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday problems where small habit changes can help.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will collaborate with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the balance of listening, skills work, and solution-focused steps as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging can be useful for brief updates, ongoing encouragement, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit counseling into busy schedules and varied routines.
