Felicia Hensley-Whitaker

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing from Louisiana with 25 years of experience. She aims to help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, and relationship strain. Her approach is warm and relational, focused on helping clients reach a higher level of functioning in everyday life.

She uses a client-centered stance that puts the person's own goals and strengths first. Cognitive behavioral ideas inform her work when patterns of thinking or behavior are getting in the way. She also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused strategies as needed to address difficult life events and painful memories.

Sessions tend to focus on practical steps and clear goals. She helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice different responses, and try small changes that build confidence. When trauma or grief are present, she will adapt the pace and techniques to match what the person can handle.

Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns such as depression, bipolar disorder, addiction, parenting stress, caregiver strain, and issues common to military families. She also supports people facing loneliness, family-of-origin problems, and challenges with intimacy or commitment.

Felicia is licensed in Louisiana and Texas as an LPC. She speaks English and works to create a respectful, down-to-earth space where people can talk through what matters to them and move toward practical change.

How her approaches work online and what to expect

Felicia uses client-centered therapy to build a relationship that fits each person. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and following the client's goals so sessions feel relevant to real life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors through practical exercises; it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, anger, and mood struggles.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. She will work with the client to decide which methods to try based on goals, comfort, and what seems to help. That plan can change over time as progress is made or new concerns arise.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for sessions during workday breaks or from different locations. It can also make it simpler to maintain regular appointments while managing caregiving or work responsibilities. The therapist will discuss practical scheduling and format details during the intake so sessions match daily life and goals.
