About Felicia
Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and related problems. Felicia aims to create a calm, practical space where parents and adults can talk through what is happening and learn useful skills for daily life.
Her style is collaborative and client-centered. Sessions are plainspoken and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps toward change.
Background and approach
Felicia uses tried-and-true methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). She weaves in mindfulness and motivational interviewing where they fit. This mix helps with mood, anger, relationship strains, and parenting stress.
Her background includes long-term work with adolescents in the juvenile justice system and with people served by state mental health and social services programs. Over the past seven years she has expanded to support younger and older adults across various life stages.
In sessions she focuses on building coping skills, improving communication, and addressing grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, or compassion fatigue when it arises. She welcomes practical information before a first visit so sessions can begin efficiently. Felicia describes therapy as a joint process.
She helps clients identify goals, try strategies, and adjust the plan as needed to match real life.
Therapeutic approaches brought to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means sessions start by listening and shaping the plan around each client’s goals and values. This approach helps people who need practical, respectful support without feeling pushed toward one solution.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches simple skills to test unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday parenting challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes skills for regulating intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress. It offers concrete tools for managing anger, impulsive behavior, and relationship conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans can change over time as progress is made and situations evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, phone sessions work for those on the go, and live chat or text-based messaging can be a lighter way to check in between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives while keeping the focus on useful skills and steady progress.
Client-Centered Therapy
The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
