More about Felicia
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a mental health professional living in Louisiana, but licensed as an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in both Louisiana and Texas. I have approximately 25 years of experience working with clients of various ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds. I have worked with clients with a wide variety of concerns including: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and phase of life issues (i.e. stress related to divorce, mid-life crisis, work/life balance, aging concerns, etc.) I have also worked with and been a part of a military family.
My therapy style is very warm and relational. I believe that everyone has a right to seek their highest level of functioning and I am always happy to assist anyone with that goal in mind. My therapeutic approach is primarily client-centered with a strong influence of the cognitive behavioral approach. I will work with you in a manner that best meets your needs and moves you toward your personal goals.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Felicia has given me tools that have been such an improvement to life !
She is flexible with scheduling. I can tell she cares about my struggles and always takes my thoughts into consideration before responding. She has given me lots to think about on my journey to self acceptance.
Felicia has a kind and calm demeanor that really puts me at ease. She is a great listener, and is encouraging and helpful, offering practical counsel.
It’s been a wonderful experience thus far! Two weeks in and I feel way lighter.
Very easy to work with and very understanding!
Felicia has been open, down to earth and an excellent listener. She has helped give me a broader perspective on issues that have concerned me. Her approach is very warm and offers true objective tools .
It’s feels like Felicia genuinely cares about my well being. She messages me between sessions to check in or to let me know she’s thinking about me and wishing me well. She’s doesn't judge you and provides great advice and words of wisdom. She’s the best therapist I’ve ever been with and she’s a 10/10
Felicia is very compassionate and knowledgeable. I trust that she cares about my issues and gives quality advice.
Felicia is a great listener and has created a space where I feel safe sharing anything.
Felicia was patient and surprisingly adept at letting me get out what I needed to get out and then slowly teasing out what mattered most or needed priority. In retrospect, I was able to do that freely and felt safe and now feel confident that she knows where we need to go next.
