About Felicia
Felicia Hensley-Whitaker is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps parents and individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She has a calm, warm style and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and restore day-to-day functioning for people juggling parenting and other responsibilities.
She brings about 25 years of clinical experience and holds LPC credentials in Louisiana and Texas. Over her career she has supported people through relationship issues, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and challenges such as bipolar mood swings or ADHD.
Background and approach
She also understands the strains that come with caregiver roles and first responder stress. Sessions center on building a strong, respectful connection first. Felicia uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to each person.
She blends that with cognitive-behavioral tools to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors between sessions. When parenting is a central worry, she helps people sort priorities, manage conflict, and set realistic expectations for themselves. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, codependency, and communication problems that affect close relationships.
Felicia offers straightforward guidance, goal-focused planning, and room for difficult emotions. She favors concrete techniques and short-term strategies while remaining attentive to deeper patterns that affect long-term well-being. Her Louisiana base informs her practice while she works with English-speaking clients in standard clinical formats.

How her approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and focuses sessions on what the client says matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and guides the work toward practical goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches skills to change unhelpful patterns; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and parenting stress.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist listens to your concerns, discusses options, and adjusts methods based on your goals and preferences. Sessions may mix supportive listening, problem-solving, and skill-building so the plan fits your life and changes as needed.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules. Video works well for in-depth conversations and teaching skills. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and messaging let people share thoughts between sessions or access support when a quick exchange helps.
