Felicia McGhee, LPC

Felicia McGhee is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with 20 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting strains, ADHD, and issues related to career and self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, cancer, aging concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Her style is client-centered and collaborative. Sessions focus on practical skills and steady progress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach coping tools and ways to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques are used when they fit the person's goals.

Felicia has worked extensively with adolescents involved in the juvenile justice system and people served through state mental health and social services. More recently she has provided contracted services across a wider age range, including young adults, middle-aged adults, and older adults. That breadth informs how she adapts plans for different life stages.

In sessions she aims to build coping skills, increase insight, and set achievable steps toward change. Practical strategies might include thinking-skills from CBT, emotion-regulation tools from DBT, and mindfulness practices to reduce stress. She also offers grief-informed and career-focused support when needed.

Before the first session clients are invited to share any information they feel is helpful. That helps tailor the work to immediate concerns and realistic goals.

How approaches like CBT and DBT can help online

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes working at the client's pace and shaping sessions around what matters most to them. It focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping a person set their own goals.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It includes skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clear communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting over time to what helps most.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking since the biography does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue care through major life changes or health challenges while keeping appointments consistent. Licensed professionals can use these approaches remotely to teach the same practical skills used in person.
