About Lucinda
Lucinda Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, career questions, and ADHD. She writes plainly and listens closely to understand each person's immediate needs. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit day-to-day life.
She trained in counseling at Wichita State University, earning a Master of Science in Counseling after completing a Bachelor of Science.
Background and approach
Her work history spans day programs for severe mental illness, academic advising, welfare services, and outreach counseling in Arizona. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of struggles and everyday problems. In Arizona she provided outreach and special education counseling in Pinal County, working with community members on communication, parenting, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and anger management.
She has also supported people facing addiction and relationship challenges. Those experiences inform a practical, down-to-earth approach. Her clinical toolkit includes client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, and solution-focused work.
In sessions she listens first, then works with people to set small goals and try concrete techniques that can be used between meetings. The focus is on what helps in routine life. Lucinda emphasizes teamwork and steady support rather than quick fixes.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process to get past roadblocks and make daily life more manageable. Her aim is to offer a steady ear and clear steps toward the goals each person brings.
How these approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own solutions. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what you say, asks clarifying questions, and follows your lead to build goals that feel right to you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on realistic, short-term goals and steps you can try between sessions to see change quickly.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your needs, goals, and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you see what helps.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between visits. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats until you find what works best.
