Felisha Tillman, LPC-MHSP

Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self esteem, and depression. She speaks plainly and works to make therapy practical for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck. Many come feeling exhausted by carrying heavy emotions alone and want tools to cope better.

Tillman uses a trauma-aware, warm, and direct style. Sessions are collaborative and structured, so clients understand what they are working on and why. She helps people notice patterns that keep them in survival mode and practices new ways to cope and communicate.

Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods. Those tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts, build coping skills, and strengthen emotional awareness. The work often includes setting clear goals and tracking small steps of progress.

Tillman also brings experience from community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. That background helps when clients need practical strategies for managing intense reactions or making short-term plans during stressful times.

Therapy with Tillman emphasizes learning real skills for daily life. Clients can expect support in regulating emotions, improving boundaries and communication, addressing trauma responses, and rebuilding confidence. The aim is to move from merely surviving to living with clearer purpose and more resilience.

How therapy approaches translate to online care

CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Online CBT sessions focus on clear skill practice, thought records, and homework you can do between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people accept difficult emotions while choosing actions that match their values. In online ACT, sessions emphasize values clarification, mindfulness exercises, and small behavioral steps to move toward what matters.

The therapist will work together with each client to find the right approach. That process looks like discussing goals, trying specific techniques, and adjusting plans based on what actually helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so methods can be tweaked to fit their needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which allow flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text sessions support shorter check-ins, between-session coaching, or step-by-step skills practice. These options make it easier to attend regularly and apply what is learned in daily life.
