Felicia Hensley-Whitaker, LPC

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is an LPC with 25 years of counseling experience based in Louisiana. She greets people warmly and aims to create a space where worries can be talked through without judgment. Her approach focuses on practical steps people can use day to day to feel steadier and more in control.

She often combines client-centered care with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, so sessions balance listening with skills practice. That means time is spent understanding what matters most to the person and trying small changes that can ease anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship strain. Felicia has supported people coping with grief, trauma, addiction, parenting stress, career shifts, and identity concerns.

With a long career that includes work related to military family life, she brings familiarity with issues like caregiver fatigue, communication problems, and feelings of isolation. She pays attention to patterns such as codependency, control struggles, and abandonment fears, and helps people notice how those patterns play out day to day.

Her style is relational and straightforward. Sessions aim to set clear goals and practice skills between meetings. Felicia works with each person to choose strategies that match their life and preferences.

People who want practical tools and steady support often find this approach helpful. She offers video, phone, chat, and messaging options so therapy can fit different schedules and needs.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the person sets the pace and goals. Online sessions using this approach prioritize listening, reflective feedback, and helping people clarify what they want to change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to feel better. In online work CBT usually includes setting small homework tasks, practicing new skills between sessions, and tracking progress together during meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals, and comfort with online formats. That might mean leaning more into problem-solving one week and skills practice the next.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping focus on clear goals and skill-building.
