About Felicia

Felicia Hensley-Whitaker brings 25 years of clinical experience to her practice in Louisiana, holding LPC licensure in both Louisiana and Texas. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, depression, grief, trauma, addiction concerns, and a range of life transition issues.

Background and approach

Her background includes work with varied populations and life circumstances, and she draws on that breadth to tailor care to each person’s situation. Her style is warm and relational, guided by a client-centered philosophy that respects each person’s goals and values.

Felicia integrates cognitive behavioral tools to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for coping and problem solving. She also incorporates solution-focused and trauma-informed ideas when those approaches align with a client’s needs.

Felicia aims to collaborate with clients to create realistic, individualized plans that promote improved functioning and greater emotional balance. She welcomes inquiries from English-speaking adults in Louisiana and coordinates care consistent with her LPC credentials, LA LPC 4150 and TX LPC 14951.

Integrating Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Felicia commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help clients identify patterns of thinking that contribute to distress and to practice concrete skills for coping, problem solving, and mood management. She also uses client-centered principles, offering a warm, nonjudgmental relationship that centers the client's goals and personal values while exploring what change would look like.

Deciding which method fits best is part of therapy itself. She collaborates with each person to assess needs, experiment with approaches, and adjust strategies over time so the work aligns with the client’s goals and preferences rather than relying on a single fixed method.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for flexible scheduling and easier access when in-person visits are difficult. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care across busy days, during life transitions, or when geographic distance is a factor, while preserving the relational and practical work that underpins her therapeutic style.
