About Felicia
Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of experience based in Louisiana and also licensed in Texas. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, parenting concerns, addiction, and issues tied to family dynamics. She also addresses LGBT concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, grief, and problems that arise during life transitions.
Her approach is largely client-centered, which means she focuses on each person's perspective and values. She also draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going. Sessions are conversational and practical, not full of jargon; clients talk through what feels most pressing and try new ways of coping.
Felicia has experience across many life stages and has worked with people from varied backgrounds. She mentions understanding military family life from personal experience, which can inform conversations about relocation, separation, or role changes. She also lists experience with caregiver stress, first responder issues, and fertility-related worries.
In sessions she helps people tackle concrete problems like communication, codependency, control issues, and commitment worries. She supports work on family of origin issues - the ongoing patterns that come from how someone grew up - and helps people practice different responses in today’s relationships.
People can expect a relational style that centers their concerns and practical methods to test new behaviors. Before a first appointment she asks for basic intake information so the initial session can focus on priorities and immediate next steps.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects understanding, and follows the client's lead to identify what to work on. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers straightforward exercises to test different responses. Solution-focused ideas aim at small, concrete steps that can produce noticeable change in daily life.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try first. That collaboration helps shape session focus and homework between meetings so progress stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can help fit therapy into a busy week by removing travel and allowing shorter check-ins when helpful. They can also make it easier to maintain continuity across moves or changing schedules. Licensed professionals adapt exercises and conversation style to work well over video or phone, and the therapist will discuss what works best for a client's routine and comfort.
