About Felicia

Felicia Bessman is a licensed professional counselor in Texas who supports people navigating depression, anxiety, relationship and family conflict, grief, and life transitions. She draws on a decade of clinical experience to create treatment plans that reflect each person’s circumstances and goals.

Background and approach

Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while attending to practical concerns such as parenting, career stress, caregiver burden, and intimacy-related challenges. Felicia integrates evidence-informed methods including cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered techniques, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build coping skills and move toward clearer goals.

She also works with people facing trauma and abuse, eating concerns, bipolar disorder, anger, ADHD, and compassion fatigue, and she addresses blended family dynamics and commitment or caregiver stress when relevant. Clients can expect a collaborative, tailored approach that adapts dialogue and interventions to their needs while acknowledging the courage it takes to begin therapy.

Remote Approaches That Support Practical Change



Felicia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and solution-focused therapy, which emphasizes setting clear goals and building small, practical steps toward desired changes. She also employs client-centered techniques that prioritize empathy and active listening to help clients feel understood and shape the work around their values and priorities.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she collaborates with each person to determine what fits best based on concerns, goals, and personal preferences. This means techniques may be blended or adjusted over time so the plan stays practical and relevant to what the client wants to achieve.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which supports flexible scheduling and access from different locations within Texas. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or life transitions while allowing the therapist and client to focus on skill-building, problem solving, and emotional support in formats that work for the client.
