About Felisha

Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) based in Tennessee who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Her practice emphasizes a trauma-informed, warm, and direct approach that balances structure with compassion.

Background and approach

She aims to help clients move out of survival patterns by identifying unhelpful cycles and building practical coping skills that support clearer thinking and healthier emotional responses.

With eight years of professional experience, Tillman integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered care. She draws on her background in community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health to offer measurable goals, strength-based interventions, and trauma-responsive techniques.

Sessions emphasize collaboration, emotional safety, and skill-building to address concerns like grief, substance use, relationship stress, burnout, attachment difficulties, and identity development. Tillman invites clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted by emotional burdens to work together toward clearer purpose and increased resilience.

Her work focuses on practical tools for regulation, improved communication, healthier boundaries, and rebuilding self-trust so clients can shift from merely surviving to living with greater clarity and agency.

Evidence-Based Therapies and Online Care

Felisha uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to guide online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult emotions and committing to values-driven actions to increase psychological flexibility. She also draws on client-centered principles to ensure the work reflects each person's preferences and goals.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will explore a client's concerns, goals, and comfort with different methods and then tailor a plan that blends practical skills training with reflective work. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in choosing strategies that fit their life and priorities.

Online therapy offers flexible options that can fit into busy schedules, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it possible to access regular support and practice skills between sessions, while allowing clients to choose the communication style that feels most manageable for them.
