Felicia Hensley-Whitaker , LPC

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Louisiana with licensure in both Louisiana and Texas. She brings approximately 25 years of clinical experience supporting people from a wide range of ages, backgrounds, and life circumstances. Her practice has included work with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and transitional phase-of-life concerns such as divorce-related stress, midlife reevaluation, work-life balance challenges, and aging-related issues.

Having been part of a military family, she understands the unique stresses that can accompany service and family life. Her therapeutic manner is warm and relational, emphasizing a respectful, collaborative connection that helps clients move toward greater functioning. Felicia believes that everyone has a right to pursue their highest level of functioning, and she tailors the pace and focus of therapy to each person’s needs.

Her approach is primarily client-centered, which means she centers the work on the client’s goals and experiences, while also integrating strong cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She works with clients in ways that best meet their needs and support progress toward personal goals, and she welcomes the opportunity to assist those seeking change.

Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused therapy in ways that adapt well to remote work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a supportive, empathetic relationship where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work - this approach can help with life transitions, self-esteem, and relational concerns. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; it is practical and skills-oriented, often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying strengths and small, achievable changes to move forward, which can be especially helpful when coping with immediate stressors or setting targeted goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Felicia works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She blends strategies as needed and checks in with clients to ensure the direction of therapy remains aligned with their priorities.

Online therapy with Felicia can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional without rearranging life around in-person appointments, helping clients maintain momentum between sessions.
