About Kellie
Kellie Foster is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, LGBT concerns, relationships, family issues, grief, career questions, and compassion fatigue.
Kellie uses a relaxed, conversational style in sessions. She treats therapy as a partnership and focuses on building a working relationship with each person. She combines different methods rather than using a single fixed approach, and adapts techniques to the situation presented.
Her practice includes approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Existential Therapy. She aims to reduce labeling and to listen to each person's story and perspective as the starting point for work together.
Kellie has experience across many life contexts and additional areas of focus, including adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility concerns, and problems tied to family of origin. She also addresses issues related to cancer, aging, and grief.
Sessions are offered in English and she practices in Florida. The practice notes that international clients are not accepted. For people who prefer a conversational, flexible approach, Kellie frames therapy around collaboration and practical techniques to help manage everyday pressures.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the site's online process. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that reflect their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding the person's experience, with the therapist following the client's lead to build a trusting working relationship.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kellie works collaboratively to identify which methods make the most sense for each person's goals and preferences. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together as the work progresses.
Session format details should be confirmed before booking since the biography does not list specific online formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around school or work. Ask about current session options so you know how meetings are scheduled and what to expect.
