Tenecia Funches, LPC

Tenecia Funches is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and big life changes. She focuses on practical steps people can use every day to feel steadier and more in control.

Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, achievable goals. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions. She also offers faith-based counseling when clients request that perspective.

Tenecia draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to shape sessions. That means she works with thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together, centers the client’s experience, and looks for small workable changes that add up. She has written about social anxiety and uses that knowledge to help people better understand symptoms and responses.

Her style is supportive and practical. She encourages self-awareness and steady effort rather than quick fixes. Many sessions include skill practice, real-life problem solving, and straightforward feedback to keep progress on track.

With ten years of experience, Tenecia guides people through emotional challenges and relationship tensions. She helps clients develop healthier habits and greater self-love. If someone wants clear tools for coping and change, she offers a calm, steady presence to work alongside them.

How her approaches work online

Tenecia commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people connect thoughts, feelings, and actions and then try different ways of responding. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and social phobia because it targets unhelpful thinking and builds practical coping skills.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they decide what changes matter most to them. Solution-Focused Therapy shows up in sessions as short-term goal work and steps you can try between meetings to see real improvement.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Tenecia will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, preferences, and life situation. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans so treatment stays useful and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use body language and screen-sharing for worksheets, phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break, and messaging allows brief check-ins or reflections between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible, so people can fit care into busy schedules or pick the format that helps them engage best.
