About Felicia
Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She is licensed in Louisiana and Texas and works with adults on common life stresses and mood concerns. Her listed areas include anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting stress, and anger among other issues.
She follows a client-centered base, placing the person's perspective at the center of sessions. She blends that stance with cognitive behavioral ideas to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. This means sessions often include talking through current difficulties and trying simple, practical skills between meetings.
Felicia describes her style as relational. That shows up as steady, interactive sessions where the therapist listens, reflects, and offers clear steps to try. Many clients focus on problem areas such as work-life balance, coping with separation or divorce, or the wear of caregiving responsibilities.
She has experience with trauma-related concerns and uses trauma-focused ideas when appropriate to help process painful events. Solution-focused elements also appear when people want brief, goal-oriented work to get unstuck and move forward.
Felicia has worked with a wide range of backgrounds, including military-connected families, and brings that breadth to practical problem solving. To start, she asks about current goals and then helps pick approaches that fit those goals and everyday life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening to the person's experience and building a collaborative working relationship. Online sessions using this approach often prioritize clear check-ins and reflective conversation to keep the focus on what matters most to the client.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thought patterns and behaviors that maintain problems. In an online setting CBT typically involves setting goals, practicing brief exercises during sessions, and assigning short between-session tasks to test new ways of responding to anger or anxiety.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps toward clear goals. Online sessions can be efficient for this work, concentrating on what is already working and on quick strategies to apply between meetings.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to identify priorities, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That collaborative checking-in helps keep sessions relevant to the client's goals.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can better fit appointments into a busy week, use shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about how to structure sessions to fit daily life and responsibilities.
