About Kayann
Kayann Foster is an LPC and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She works with young adults and others on issues such as addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and career stress. Kayann focuses on practical steps people can take when life feels overwhelming or stuck.
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Motivational Interviewing is used when motivation feels low, and Trauma-Focused Therapy is available for processing past harm.
Kayann often helps with the pressures common in early adulthood - leaving home, first jobs, studying, money stress, and feeling behind peers. She also supports those dealing with grief, parenting challenges, postpartum depression, and substance use concerns. Practical skills, short-term goals, and clearer next steps are frequent parts of her work.
She practices with respect and sensitivity and adapts conversations to each person’s needs. Sessions typically focus on what matters most right now and on building small changes that add up. Clients are invited to set priorities and try concrete techniques between sessions.
Kayann works in Washington and provides services in English. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Payments use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Approaches used in online sessions
Kayann uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, person-led conversation where the client’s goals guide the work. This approach focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the individual, which can help when someone is figuring out next steps or priorities in life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small behavior changes. CBT is practical and often helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress tied to school, work, or relationships.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool she applies when motivation is low or change feels uncertain. It involves short, reflective conversations that clarify personal reasons for change and build readiness to act.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Kayann will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. This collaborative process helps decide which methods to emphasize and how to structure sessions so they fit the client’s needs.
