About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She blends client-centered care with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness strategies to help people make clear, practical changes.

She also notes work around female medical issues that affect mental health. That practical experience informs the problem-solving approach she uses in sessions. Her sessions usually combine straightforward conversation, skills practice, and mindfulness techniques.

Approach-driven online therapy with practical tools
Dr. Foster uses client-centered methods that focus on listening to each person's goals and tailoring sessions to what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard while building a plan for change.She also uses cognitive-behavioral therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT provides straightforward skills and exercises useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and habits that get in the way of daily functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy is part of her toolbox as well. It teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus and stress management.
Finding the right mix is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist work together to pick approaches that fit preferences and daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversation and skills practice. Phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text messaging provide flexible, shorter communication for scheduling, brief coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule or different time zones.
