About Felisha

Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Felisha uses practical, structured methods to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and habits and try new ways of responding.

People typically come to her when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by emotional burdens. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep someone in survival mode. She works on coping skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding confidence step by step.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with acceptance-based and emotion-focused methods. That means some sessions involve tracking thoughts and behaviors, while others focus on values and processing strong feelings. The therapist uses structured tools and short exercises as part of regular sessions.

Felisha describes her style as direct and trauma-informed. She brings experience from community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. That background informs practical strategies for handling intense emotions and stress.

Work in sessions is collaborative and goal oriented. Clients get concrete skills for regulating emotions, setting boundaries, and improving communication. The focus is on measurable steps clients can practice between sessions to notice progress and make changes in daily life.

How her approaches translate to online work

Felisha often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT sessions typically include identifying upsetting thoughts, trying small behavioral experiments, and practicing concrete skills to reduce anxiety or low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and willingness to accept hard feelings while taking steps that matter, which can help with stress, avoidance, and motivation.

Therapy is collaborative when done online as in person. The therapist will work with each person to decide which approach fits best based on needs, goals, and how they prefer to work. That process may include trying CBT exercises in one session and values-based ACT work in another to see which helps more.

The practical benefits of remote sessions depend on the formats offered, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These arrangements can help a person practice skills between meetings and bring real-life situations into sessions for focused problem solving.
