About Felisha

Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She approaches work with warmth and directness, focused on helping clients feel seen and understood while building practical coping skills.

Clients often arrive feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or exhausted from carrying emotional burdens alone. In sessions she helps untangle patterns that keep people in survival mode and teaches ways to regulate emotions and communicate more clearly. The work is collaborative and structured, with clear goals and usable strategies.

Felisha uses a mix of well-known approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). She blends these methods to fit each person’s needs and focuses on steady, measurable progress rather than quick fixes.

Her background includes eight years of experience and work in community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. That experience informs a trauma-responsive style centered on emotional safety, cultural humility, and strength-based care.

Felisha aims to move people from merely surviving to living with more clarity and purpose. She supports caregivers facing stress, people dealing with aging and geriatric issues, and those coping with relationship strain, substance use concerns, grief, and identity questions. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online work and the benefits

Felisha often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT offers practical exercises and homework that can be used between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying personal values and learning to take meaningful action even when difficult feelings are present. ACT can help with chronic worry, low mood, and life transitions by shifting attention toward what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Felisha collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors session pace and techniques over time so the plan fits the client rather than forcing a single method.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online care can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it can save travel time, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't possible, and let people join from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT and ACT exercises for remote sessions so you still practice skills between meetings. Ask about available session formats when you start the matching process to find what will work best for your routine.
