About Kellie

Kellie Foster is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues related to career, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and LGBT concerns.

Kellie takes a relaxed, conversational approach in sessions. She treats therapy as a collaboration and listens for each person’s goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and coping strategies rather than labels. She draws on several therapy methods to match what a person needs in the moment.

Her background includes work across a range of settings over more than a decade. Kellie uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy when they fit the concern. She uses these tools to help with persistent worry, negative self-talk, relationship patterns, and adapting to major life changes.

In practice she favors straightforward conversation, building a working alliance, and helping people try small experiments between sessions. For people coping with grief, chronic illness, or caregiver stress, she focuses on realistic coping and communication skills. For those dealing with career uncertainty or family-of-origin issues, she works on clarity and decision-making.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. People should confirm current session options before booking and use the platform’s matching steps to schedule a first appointment.

How her approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that matter to them. It is often used for persistent worry, avoidance, and values-based decision making. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, and phobias. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, respect, and the client’s own goals; it supports clearer self-understanding and decision-making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kellie collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level. She adapts techniques as needs change, and she discusses options so clients know what to expect from sessions.

Confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people try exercises and real-world exposures between meetings and review how those felt with a therapist. If you have questions about the format, confirm the options during the matching step before scheduling.
