About Felicia

Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience in the counseling field. She focuses on concerns such as stress, anxiety, anger, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, parenting, and career challenges. Felicia also lists work with ADHD, compassion fatigue, intimacy issues, LGBT concerns, and family-related stress.

Much of her career was spent supporting adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system. She has also worked with clients served by the Department of Mental Health, Department of Social Services, and South Carolina Vocational Rehabilitation. In the last seven years she broadened her practice through contracted roles to include young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She mixes practical skills and talk therapy, and she focuses on helping people build coping strategies they can use day to day. Sessions typically involve identifying patterns, trying new behaviors, and reflecting on what works.

Felicia uses a range of evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, trauma-focused approaches, grief work, and career counseling. She adapts approaches based on a person's goals and concerns rather than using one fixed method.

Before a first session she invites people to share any information they think is helpful. That helps her and the person set priorities for treatment and plan what to work on first.

How Felicia uses therapy methods online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and working at the person's pace. The therapist follows the client's concerns and helps set clear goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors to find practical changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, anger, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for managing strong emotions and improving communication in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for a few sessions, adding mindfulness exercises, or focusing on DBT skills until the person feels steadier.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when life is hectic. It also lets people use tools like worksheets, guided mindfulness exercises, and step-by-step CBT tasks between sessions to practice new skills in everyday situations.
