Background and approach
She often draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.

Her practice reflects experience with a wide range of personal and family-related problems. Licensed in Louisiana and Texas as an LPC, she brings long-term clinical experience to each session. She aims to help clients set realistic goals, practice new skills, and track small changes over time.

Felicia welcomes questions about the therapy process and works collaboratively to help clients move toward better daily functioning.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's concerns and life goals. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what she hears, and helps the client set the pace and priorities for each session. This approach is useful for people seeking a supportive space to talk through fears like phobias, relationship worries, or life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors affect emotions. It involves identifying patterns that keep problems going and testing small changes in thinking or action. CBT techniques can help with anxiety, depression, phobias, and managing mood swings by teaching practical skills to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which techniques are most helpful and when to shift focus based on progress and preference.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face work and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not needed or bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when written reflection helps. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
