About Lichele
Lichele White is a licensed professional counselor who focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and self-esteem. She works to create straightforward, respectful conversations aimed at helping people make manageable changes. Lichele uses clear goals and compassionate listening to guide clients toward greater motivation and confidence.
With six years of experience, she adapts conversations and plans to each person’s needs. Lichele describes therapy as a partnership where small steps add up over time.

Her work includes helping people facing substance use challenges, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, and issues around communication and jealousy. Lichele also supports those dealing with post-traumatic stress, seasonal affective disorder, hospice and end-of-life strain, and stress related to first responder roles. She pays attention to practical barriers some clients face, including visual impairment and the stresses of young adulthood.
Lichele uses a mix of approaches chosen to fit the person in front of her. She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, and solution-focused tools to set brief, do-able goals. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness strategies are used when helpful to build motivation and calm.
This approach supports people coping with natural or human-caused disaster effects as well as those going through divorce or separation. Lichele aims to empower clients to take the next step and to build skills they can use after sessions end.
How Lichele’s approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist creates space to talk through what matters most and helps clients set steps that feel manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect mood and behavior, and offers practical exercises to try between sessions to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce stress and increase awareness in daily life.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Lichele will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made. The aim is to pick techniques that fit the client's needs rather than forcing a single method.
The therapist's biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practices and CBT exercises in the moments they arise, with guidance from a licensed professional.
