Letitia Browne-James, PhD, LMHC, NCC

I am a Counselor Educator and Supervisor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Counselor, Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider, and Qualified Clinical Supervisor for mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists seeking licensure in Florida. I have over fifteen years of experience working with adults, children, families, and couples in various clinical settings as a counselor and clinical administrator. I serve as an Assistant Professor and MCFC Program Coordinator at Adler Graduate School and as Adjunct Faculty at another university. I am the Founder and Owner of Victorious Living Counseling & Consulting, a group practice in Florida owned by my Corporation, Dr. LBJ, Inc. I am also the Founder and President of LBJ Behavioral Services, a nonprofit offering mental health services to those who can’t afford them. I am an author and a Florida Behavioral Health Case Manager Supervisor.

My teaching philosophy is learner-centered and eclectic, which includes using experiential activities, lectures, and written assignments to meet the diverse learning styles of adult learners. Additionally, I approach teaching from a constructivist perspective, which involves being open to learning and teaching. I enjoy using relevant examples from my professional experiences in my teaching and encourage students to do the same to facilitate everyone’s learning in the classroom. I also use appropriate humor to create a balance of lightheartedness and knowledge in class. Some of my goals for students are to expand their worldview and increase their cultural, ethical, and advocacy skills in counseling. I strive to be a resource for students to facilitate their professional and personal development to aid in creating global social change. For example, I present globally on racial and other microaggressions, human trafficking, gatekeeping in counseling, multicultural pedagogy and supervision, and the intersections of mental and physical health issues and share that knowledge with my students.

I am a Past President of the Florida Counseling Association (FCA), the Florida Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (FAMCD), Chi Sigma Iota (CSI) Omega Zeta Chapter at Walden University, and a Past Treasurer of the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD). I am a former Ethics and Compliance Advisory Board Member at Patients Like Me, where I helped amplify the voices of patients living with medical and mental health conditions and illnesses. Finally, I am a member of the Orange County Chapters of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Bethune-Cookman University’s Alumni Association.
