Hello, I’m Dr. Felicia Spratt, Ed.D, LPC, a licensed therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, confidence, and support. I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults who are experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, stress, and family conflict. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about how to move forward, and my goal is to help them make sense of what feels heavy while identifying practical steps toward healing and growth. My approach to therapy is collaborative, supportive, and solution-focused. I believe that each person brings strengths into the therapy space, even when life feels difficult. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, trauma-informed care, and family-based strategies to help clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Together, we work to build healthier coping skills, improve communication, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful change in daily life. I have particular experience supporting adolescents and young adults who may be struggling with impulsivity, anger, family challenges, or high-risk behaviors. I also work with adults who are balancing multiple responsibilities and seeking ways to manage stress, process past experiences, and regain a sense of emotional stability. Clients who work with me can expect a safe, respectful, and nonjudgmental environment where they feel heard and supported. My goal is to help you build resilience, gain confidence in your ability to handle life’s challenges, and take steady steps toward becoming the healthiest version of yourself.

On the outside, most people would likely say you’re doing okay. You manage responsibilities, show up for others, and keep life moving. Internally, it often feels heavier than it appears. Your mind doesn’t slow down—you replay conversations, overanalyze decisions, and get caught in patterns that feel difficult to understand even to you. At times, anxiety feels constant or hard to quiet. Other times, there is shutdown, numbness, or low motivation that is difficult to explain. Stress builds over time, past experiences continue to shape present responses, and depression can show up as disconnection, fatigue, or a persistent sense of heaviness. Life transitions often intensify these experiences—changes in relationships, identity, work, or direction can feel destabilizing even when they are expected or positive. That’s where I come in. I’m a trauma-informed psychotherapist (LPC) and the founder of Profound Minds Psychological Services. I work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are ready to move beyond surface-level understanding and begin shifting the deeper patterns that keep them stuck. My role is to help you make sense of what is happening beneath the surface and begin creating change that actually lasts. Many of the individuals I work with are capable, reflective, and self-aware, yet frustrated that insight alone has not been enough. In our work, we go beyond symptoms and begin identifying the emotional and relational patterns driving them. From there, we work to shift those patterns in a structured, realistic, and sustainable way. This is a space where you do not need to hold everything together or have the right words. You can show up as you are, and we will begin from there.

You are overwhelmed, overthinking everything, and overfunctioning just to keep things afloat. You are the one everyone relies on, but you are exhausted. You have gotten used to carrying everything for everyone, and if we are being honest, it is costing you your peace, your energy, and often yourself. If this sounds familiar, it is because I hear it all the time. It reflects the lived experiences of most of the clients I work with. In our sessions, we won't just talk about what is happening. We'll get honest about what's driving it and we work to change it. I'll help you notice the patterns that are keeping you stuck and challenge them in real time so that you can build something more sustainable in your actual day-to-day life.

Evening and weekend appointments available for working adults. I help adults who are exhausted from anxiety that won't shut off, depression that drains all energy, sleepless nights, or chronic pain that's controlling their lives. Many of my clients have been struggling for months or even years, trying different approaches without finding real relief. They're ready for something that actually works. I specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) because the research is clear: it provides practical strategies that create measurable change, not just insight. I'm particularly trained in CBT for insomnia (CBT-I) and chronic pain (CBT-CP), which means if you're dealing with sleep problems or pain alongside anxiety or depression, I have specialized tools to help. With over 20 years of experience treating veterans in VA primary care and hospital settings, I've worked with thousands of people facing anxiety, depression, insomnia, chronic pain, and trauma. What I've learned: effective therapy requires practical tools you can use immediately, a structured approach that respects your time, and a therapist who genuinely believes you can get better. I opened my private practice specifically to offer evening and weekend appointments because I know working adults can't always take time off during the day. You shouldn't have to choose between your job and getting help for what's keeping you up at night or draining your energy during the day. My approach: We identify what's keeping you stuck, build a practical plan with strategies you can use right away, and track progress weekly. The focus is on tangible results: reduced anxiety, improved mood, better sleep, less pain interference in your daily life. Best fit: Adults ready to actively participate in structured, evidence-based treatment and practice skills between sessions.

I offer virtual therapy to clients located in Alabama, Missouri, Texas, and Florida. My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed care and guided by the American Counseling Association (ACA) Code of Ethics, with an emphasis on cultural humility, client autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice. I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and lived experiences and am committed to fostering a therapeutic environment that prioritizes safety, dignity, and respect. I approach therapy with cultural humility and curiosity, recognizing that personal history, identity, environment, and broader social contexts can influence mental health, stress, and a sense of safety in daily life.

My role is not to direct clients toward particular beliefs or identities, but to collaborate in a way that honors each client’s values, boundaries, and goals. I view clients as the experts on their own experiences and aim to support increased insight, emotional regulation, and psychological flexibility. Whether you are seeking support for healing, growth, or stabilization, my goal is to provide therapy that is collaborative, respectful, and tailored to your individual needs.

Hi there, glad you are here! I am an accomplished Clinical Social Worker with over 17 years of experience, licensed in Missouri. I graduated with my Master of Social Work from Missouri State University in 2008 with an emphasis in substance use and trauma. I have many years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns from PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, addiction, trauma, OCD, ADHD/ADD, and many others. I have also assisted those with serious mental health issues such as schizophrenia, bipolar, dissociative disorder, traumatic brain injuries and those on the spectrum. I am a Certified Crisis Worker and have been trained in CISM and have been active within the community doing debriefings with first responders and medical professionals. I’m here to walk beside you as you navigate the challenges life has placed in your path. Life can be full of beautiful, joyful moments—but it can also bring seasons of pain, loss, stress, or unexpected change that leave us feeling lost or questioning our place in the world. If that sounds familiar, you’re in the right place. It takes real strength to reach out for support, and I truly commend you for taking this brave first step toward healing and hope. My therapy style is typically warm, interactive and believe in meeting the client where they are currently at. I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity, respect, compassion, and understanding. I don't believe in labels but that in understanding a diagnosis that fits the symptoms we may be able to find solutions and peace while moving forward. I will walk beside you and be your guide. I want to help you achieve the best version of you that you can be! I look forward to meeting you and taking this journey with you.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Missouri rather than a city like Kansas City?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Missouri. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Missouri from Saint Louis to Springfield! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Missouri.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Trauma and PTSD?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Trauma and PTSD, is filtering therapists in Missouri that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
