Felicia Hensley-Whitaker , LPC

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, and life changes. She writes and speaks plainly in sessions and aims to make therapy feel approachable. Her first priority is to understand what a person needs and where they want to go.

Felicia brings about 25 years of clinical experience in Louisiana and Texas. She has supported people dealing with depression, bipolar symptoms, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to identity and intimacy. She also helps people working through caregiver strain, codependency, abandonment, and career or parenting stress.

Her style is warm and relational. Sessions focus on building a trusting connection first, then moving on to practical steps that fit the person’s life. She uses client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral ideas to notice patterns and try small changes that lead to relief.

Felicia also draws on solution-focused and trauma-informed methods when a goal is clear or when past events need careful attention. These tools are applied in straightforward ways, such as testing new coping strategies, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and planning manageable next steps.

She offers therapy in English and practices from Louisiana as an LPC. Felicia talks openly about goals, progress, and what to expect so people can decide if her approach feels like a good fit.

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person as an individual. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to sort feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns by testing small behavior and thinking changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to lean more on client-centered listening, CBT techniques, or solution-focused steps to reach clear goals.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video allows a fuller conversation, phone works well with lower bandwidth, live chat is helpful for brief check-ins, and messaging suits people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules and to try different formats as needs change.
