About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and codependency concerns. She brings a calm, relational presence to sessions and focuses on practical steps that people can use day to day. Her voice is warm and straightforward, aiming to help clients move toward clearer goals and better coping.

Felicia has 25 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including depression, bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and abuse, and challenges tied to life transitions. She has also supported people affected by military family life and understands how those stresses can show up.

Her work centers on a client-centered approach, with strong influence from cognitive behavioral methods. That means she listens first to what matters to a person, then helps identify thoughts and patterns that get in the way. Together they try small, doable changes and track what helps.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Felicia emphasizes realistic tools for coping, communication, and managing intense emotions like anger or shame. She also addresses issues such as parenting strain, caregiver stress, and intimacy-related problems.

Felicia holds LPC credentials and practices in Louisiana. She speaks English and draws on decades of experience to tailor her approach to each person's needs. If someone wants to begin, she guides them through the initial steps toward scheduling and planning therapy.

How her approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a supportive relationship. The therapist follows the person's priorities and helps them name goals and values, which can be useful for stress, relationship strain, or codependency concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior. In sessions, the therapist and client identify unhelpful thinking, try new ways of responding, and practice skills for anxiety, depression, or coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Felicia will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what the client reports is helping and what feels doable.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as specific online formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use different formats to match practical needs, and Felicia helps people choose what will best fit their routine.
