Felicia Hensley-Whitaker, LPC

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor with 25 years of experience in Louisiana and Texas. She aims to help people navigating stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions such as divorce or a midlife crisis. Her manner is warm and relational, and she focuses on meeting each person where they are. She communicates plainly and keeps sessions focused on practical steps forward.

She draws mainly from client-centered work, which means the person leads the conversation and the therapist listens closely. Cognitive behavioral ideas inform how she helps people notice thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set clear, achievable goals and to track progress.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as bipolar disorder, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She has experience supporting people facing career strain, parenting stress, caregiver burden, and fertility-related worries. Military family experience informs her understanding of some related challenges.

Sessions emphasize practical coping skills, clearer communication, and steps to reduce overwhelm. She helps people identify small changes that lead to steadier days. When needed, she will tailor strategies to a person’s daily life and responsibilities.

Felicia works in English and practices as an LPC. People interested in starting are encouraged to follow the site intake process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Felicia uses client-centered therapy to make the person’s goals the focus of each session. This approach involves active listening, reflection, and helping people identify what matters most to them. It is useful for people feeling stuck or unsure about next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people recognize patterns of thought that increase stress or anxiety and then practice new ways of thinking and behaving. CBT is often helpful for mood concerns, worry, and behavioral habits that cause problems in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches that fit their needs, and adjust methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay focused and useful.

Session formats and scheduling details should be confirmed before booking. Ask about the specific online or in-person options offered at the time of intake. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing workday check-ins, or offering shorter follow-up meetings when needed.
