About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is a licensed professional counselor with 25 years of practice. She blends clear, direct guidance with practical strategies to help people make real changes. Her work emphasizes shorter-term, goal-focused therapy rather than open-ended treatment.
Her main approaches include cognitive-behavioral methods, client-centered work, and mindfulness techniques. She uses these to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Money and financial issues are also listed among the focuses she addresses.
Dr. Foster says she is interactive in sessions and gives straightforward feedback. She helps people identify specific steps they can take and supports them as they try those steps in daily life. If a different direction seems better, she will suggest alternatives or a referral.
She has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and has spent a decade in disability services at the college level. That background informs how she adapts communication, structures sessions, and sets realistic goals.
Her practice also covers parenting strains, caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with life changes such as divorce, aging, or loss. She combines practical tools with mindfulness exercises to help people manage symptoms and move toward clearer decisions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client’s own pace to identify goals and values. This approach helps with relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include goal-setting, homework tasks, and clear steps to reduce anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy adds simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve focus. These tools pair well with CBT and client-centered work to help people respond differently to strong feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This collaborative process guides which methods are used and how sessions are structured.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into busy days. Online work can make it simpler to continue care while traveling, during work breaks, or when arranging childcare.
