Margaret Felty , LPC

Margaret Felty is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas with 36 years of clinical experience. She provides care for people facing trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and compassion fatigue, and she supports clients across the lifespan from elementary school through retirement.

She fosters an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and expressed. Margaret recognizes that taking the first step toward a more fulfilling and happier life requires courage, and she offers steady support and guidance through that process. She is LGBTQ+ friendly and works with both individuals and families.

Her practice combines a range of evidence-based techniques selected to match each client’s needs. Her approaches include EMDR for trauma and anxiety, mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness, grief and loss counseling, and Rational Emotive Therapy, along with other methods adapted for telehealth use. Margaret collaborates with clients to identify practical strategies and therapies that align with their goals and life circumstances.

Evidence-Based Therapies Adapted for Online Care

EMDR is an approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. In telehealth sessions, EMDR protocols can be adapted to address trauma and anxiety while guiding clients through structured bilateral stimulation and memory processing.

Mindfulness practices teach clients to notice thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions without getting overwhelmed by them. These techniques help with stress, anxiety, and improving emotional regulation through simple attention and breathing exercises that translate well to remote sessions.

Grief and loss counseling focuses on helping people navigate bereavement and major life changes by exploring feelings, honoring losses, and building coping strategies. This work supports adjustment and meaning-making and can be delivered effectively through conversation and targeted interventions online.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Margaret works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and pacing so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to attend sessions around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. For many people, remote options increase access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to continue consistently from different locations.
