Felicia McGhee

Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina with 20 years in the counseling field. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and coping with life changes. She also supports concerns like trauma, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Much of her early work involved adolescents in the juvenile justice system and people connected with state services. In recent years she has expanded into contracted roles that let her support young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults across different life stages.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. She works with each person to set goals and choose practical steps that fit their situation. Sessions focus on building coping skills, increasing insight, and making small changes that add up.

Felicia uses several evidence-based approaches to shape sessions. These include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, mindfulness techniques to reduce reactivity, and Motivational Interviewing to support commitment to change.

She also brings experience with trauma-focused work, grief counseling, and career counseling when those needs arise. Before a first session she invites people to share background details that will help make the initial meeting more focused and useful.

How Felicia’s Approaches Fit Online and In-Person Care

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s goals first and shapes sessions around what matters to them. It is useful for people wanting a collaborative plan for coping with life changes, stress, relationships, or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence mood. It focuses on practical exercises and small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches specific skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication when emotions run high.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will help identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.

Confirm the session formats before booking so you know what is offered for this practice. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be useful when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs a lower-bandwidth option. Talk with the therapist during the matching process about what will work best for scheduling and the type of session you prefer.
