About Felisha
Felisha Tillman is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Mental Health Service Provider (LPC-MHSP) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She takes a warm, direct approach and aims to create a relationship where clients feel seen and heard. Sessions focus on practical steps that bring relief and clearer choices in day-to-day life.
Many come when they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or tired from carrying emotional burdens alone. Felisha works with each person to identify patterns that keep them in survival mode. She pairs understanding with simple, usable tools for coping and communicating more effectively.
Her practice blends several well-known approaches, including Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The work is structured but caring, with goals set together and progress tracked over time.
Felisha draws on eight years of experience in community mental health, crisis intervention, and integrated behavioral health settings. That background informs how she supports people through grief, identity questions, relationship strain, substance use concerns, and emotional numbness.
Sessions aim to help people regulate emotions, set healthier boundaries, and rebuild confidence. The pace is collaborative - clients decide priorities and Felisha helps translate goals into concrete steps. She practices in Tennessee as an LPC-MHSP and offers services in English.

How therapy approaches translate to online work
Motivational Interviewing focuses on helping people find their own reasons for change. It uses respectful questions and reflections to strengthen motivation for goals like reducing substance use or improving self-care.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-driven action so someone can move toward what matters despite hard emotions.
Client-centered therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens closely, offers empathy, and follows the client’s agenda while supporting growth and self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean trying a few strategies and adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as taking a session during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when that better matches someone’s schedule. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list specific formats. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to work effectively over distance while focusing on achievable steps and emotional skills. -
