About Lichele
Lichele White is an LPC, LCMHC practicing in Virginia with six years of experience working with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, low self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, family issues, trauma, parenting questions, bipolar disorder, coaching, and ADHD. She offers straightforward talk and practical steps. Her work is aimed at people who want to notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. She also draws on client-centered methods to listen closely and build a working relationship, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support pacing and motivation. Solution-focused techniques come into play when short-term goals are the priority.
Sessions focus on clear goals and small, manageable experiments between meetings. Conversations tend to include skill practice, planning, and reviewing what worked. When needed, discussions cover coping strategies for grief, addiction recovery steps, or communication skills for relationship strain.
Lichele has experience with caregiver stress, first responder issues, hospice and end-of-life concerns, and challenges following natural or human-caused disasters. She also supports issues such as jealousy, seasonal mood shifts, and fatherhood-related stress. Her approach balances practical tools with time to talk through feelings.
People can expect short-term problem-solving when that fits the situation, and longer work for complex trauma or bipolar mood management. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to pinpoint thoughts and behaviors that contribute to stress and anxiety, then breaks those patterns into clear skills and homework exercises. Client-centered methods are used alongside CBT to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the client and to adjust pace or focus based on responses. Mindfulness exercises are offered to help manage overwhelming feelings and improve moment-to-moment attention.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss which mix of CBT, client-centered listening, and mindfulness seems most useful based on a client's goals and preferences. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together and can change as progress is reviewed.
