About Lichele

Lichele White is a licensed professional counselor who uses a client-centered approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and low self-esteem. She holds the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and the Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential. Lichele writes and talks plainly, and she focuses on building a respectful, compassionate space where people can start making changes.

She adapts conversations and plans to each person's situation. That means sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals.

Background and approach

She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness techniques to build calm and focus. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused work help when people want to boost motivation and solve immediate problems. Lichele has six years of professional experience and is licensed in Virginia.

Her work addresses a wide range of concerns including depression, parenting challenges, bipolar issues, trauma and abuse, and relationship and family topics. Additional focus areas include caregiver stress, substance and alcohol addiction, post-traumatic stress, and support for visually impaired clients. Sessions are offered in English and delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Fees vary by location and are provided through a subscription that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules based on therapist availability.

Lichele aims to support people step by step, meeting them where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's priorities. The therapist creates a supportive environment and follows the client's lead to clarify goals and next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches small, practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help reduce stress and ground emotions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Lichele will discuss goals and try methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. She often combines approaches so sessions address both immediate problems and longer-term skills in a way the client can use day to day.

Online therapy through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video and phone calls allow face-to-face conversation, while chat and messaging can work for quick check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options add flexibility, reduce travel time, and let people access licensed professionals from home while working toward clear, practical goals.

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.
