About Felicia

Felicia Smith is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who focuses on family and parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and related challenges. She speaks plainly with parents and caregivers, helping them name problems and find steady steps forward. Sessions aim to make daily life more manageable and relationships healthier.

Felicia begins by listening closely to what matters most to each person. She helps clients spot patterns, uncover root causes, and try small changes that can lead to relief.

Background and approach

Conversations are collaborative and practical rather than full of jargon. Her work draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to challenge unhelpful thoughts. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the person’s goals at the center of the process.

Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are added when they fit the situation. Felicia has three years of documented experience as an LPC and has provided counseling services in different settings since 2014. She has worked with adults, children, and families, including on issues like parenting, family of origin problems, and fatherhood questions.

In sessions she aims to be genuine, respectful, and non-judgmental. The focus is on creating practical, realistic solutions for everyday problems. Parents who want clearer communication, calmer routines, or help navigating transitions may find this approach useful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. Online, this means conversations that follow the client’s priorities and build trust, which can help with family or parenting concerns and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. In virtual sessions this often includes setting small, doable tasks between meetings to reduce anxiety or improve mood.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to notice the present moment without judgment. These practices can be introduced in short exercises during video or phone sessions to reduce stress and improve focus for busy parents.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and may try different techniques over time to see what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules, maintain continuity during transitions, and follow up quickly between meetings when small issues arise.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
