    About Lichele

    Lichele White is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on helping people find motivation and build practical skills. She holds LPC and LCMHC credentials and works from Virginia. Lichele approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion to make the first steps toward change feel manageable.

    Lichele tailors conversations and care to each person's needs. She uses motivational approaches to help people clarify what matters and move toward it. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on the person's goals and values.

    Clients can expect straightforward, goal-oriented sessions that balance short-term problem solving and longer-term growth. She blends cognitive behavioral skills with mindfulness practices when helpful, and uses solution-focused techniques to identify practical next steps. Lichele adapts pace and focus to what each person needs in the moment.

    With six years of experience, she works to empower people who are ready to make changes. The emphasis is on clear, doable strategies and steady support as clients try new ways of coping and relating to themselves and others.

  2. How these approaches translate to online therapy

    Motivational Interviewing helps people sort through mixed feelings about change. Online sessions using this approach focus on open questions, reflective listening, and small steps toward goals, which can be useful for addiction, motivation, and behavior change.

    Client-Centered Therapy keeps the session focused on the person's own priorities. In an online visit this means the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and space to clarify values and choices.

    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 rather than imposing a single plan. That collaboration continues across sessions so adjustments can be made when something is or isn't working.

    The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove the need to travel for an appointment. Licensed professionals can use these practical benefits to help people keep progress moving between sessions.
