About Felicia
Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, LGBT issues, grief, parenting concerns, and family of origin patterns.
She spent much of her career working with adolescents in the juvenile justice system and people served by state agencies, including the Department of Mental Health and Department of Social Services. In the past seven years she has done contracted work that broadened her practice to include young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults across many life stages.
Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and workable steps. She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) along with mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when helpful.
She also uses trauma-focused methods and grief-focused conversations when those issues are present. Work can include building coping skills, practicing new communication patterns, and looking at how family of origin roles influence current relationships and choices.
Before a first session she welcomes a short note about what someone thinks is most important to discuss. That information can speed up finding priorities and beginning concrete work together.
How therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and flexibility. The therapist focuses on the person's priorities and adapts the pace and topics to what the client brings, which helps when unpacking family of origin patterns or relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. It includes practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. Those skills can be useful for anger, intense feelings, or relationship conflicts rooted in early family roles.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which methods to use based on goals and what feels workable. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting them over time.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins, or allowing sessions during a lunch break or quieter moment. Talk with the therapist about logistics and what will best fit the client's schedule and needs.
