About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as anxiety, stress, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting strain, ADHD, and career questions.
Her style blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on identifying concrete changes a person wants and taking practical steps toward them. She describes herself as direct and interactive rather than passive.
She highlights assessment and diagnostic skills as a core strength and aims for measurable progress rather than long-term open-ended therapy. That can mean setting goals, checking how strategies are working, and adjusting plans when needed. She also says she will be clear if the therapeutic match does not feel right.
Dr. Foster has specific experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those dealing with female medical conditions that affect mental health. She also spent a decade working in disability services at the college level, which informs her practical approach to problem solving and accommodations.
Sessions emphasize active work in the room. Expect to talk through realistic steps, practice skills, and review results. The focus is on getting people to the point where they no longer need regular therapy, by helping them make and maintain changes.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's concerns and preferences, giving space for their perspective to guide the work and helping build practical solutions. It suits people who want a collaborative, respectful process for sorting out relationship or life issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear techniques to change patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, phobia-related worries, depression, and managing addictions by practicing new skills and testing them between sessions. Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest techniques based on what the client wants to work on. Together they adjust methods and pacing as they learn what helps most. For practicalities, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the profile does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some approaches, like CBT, lend themselves to homework and in-between practice that fits into daily life, while mindfulness skills can be practiced in brief moments throughout the day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to whatever session format is arranged so therapy can fit around everyday routines.Areas of expertise
