About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She combines practical strategies with a straightforward style to help people make real changes. Her focus includes stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, and coping with life changes including coping with natural or human-caused disaster.
She uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness to tailor sessions to each person's needs. Sessions tend to be interactive rather than passive, with an emphasis on identifying problems and taking concrete steps to address them. The aim is steady progress so people do not stay in therapy longer than necessary.
Dr. Foster also brings experience supporting people through grief, career transitions, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem or commitment. She has a background working with people on the autism spectrum and with female medical issues that affect mental health. Her work includes attention to co-occurring concerns such as bipolar disorder and substance use.
She highlights clear communication and honest feedback during assessment and treatment planning. If a different approach or referral would better serve a person's needs, she will say so. Her long career includes a decade in college disability services, which informs her practical, problem-solving orientation.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes empathy and collaboration to help people clarify goals and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or relationship struggles. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can help with stress, grief, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions may combine methods and adjust over time based on what helps most.
The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also lets people try approaches like CBT worksheets or mindfulness practices in their usual routines, so skills transfer into daily life.
