Felicia Hensley-Whitaker, LPC

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with roughly 25 years of experience who practices in Louisiana and is also licensed to practice in Texas. She has supported people from diverse ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds through a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and life-phase concerns such as divorce, mid-life transitions, work-life balance, and aging-related stress. Her experience also includes work with and within a military family context.

Her therapeutic style is warm and relational, centered on building a collaborative connection that supports each person toward their highest level of functioning. Her work is primarily client-centered, which prioritizes the client s perspective and autonomy, and is informed strongly by cognitive behavioral techniques that address the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Felicia adapts her approach to meet individual needs and to help clients progress toward their personal goals. She welcomes clients who are ready to explore change and growth with a compassionate, goal-oriented partner.

Approaches for Online Support and Therapeutic Work

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker integrates client-centered therapy into her online work, which emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client s perspective to promote self-understanding and personal growth. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem issues, and navigating life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and related behaviors. CBT methods are often useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress by focusing on practical skills and problem solving.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Felicia collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to tailor sessions and adjust strategies over time.

Online therapy with Felicia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access licensed professionals from home or work, and continue therapeutic progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
