About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster uses a practical, goal-focused approach to therapy. She combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral and mindfulness ideas to help people make real changes. With LPC after her name, she aims for clear progress rather than long, open-ended therapy.
She describes herself as direct, honest, and interactive in sessions. She helps people name what they want to change and then supports them in taking concrete steps. Her style is hands-on rather than simply listening in silence.
Dr. Foster has 25 years of experience in mental health work. That experience includes a decade in college disability services and work supporting people on the autism spectrum. She also has experience addressing how certain medical issues affect mood and daily functioning.
Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, depression, addictions, grief, parenting strain, career matters, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. She also focuses on attachment and abandonment issues, caregiver stress, communication problems, domestic violence, and substance-related concerns.
In sessions she uses straightforward assessment and diagnostic skills to clarify problems and next steps. People can expect practical strategies drawn from cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness, together with a client-centered emphasis on each person's goals. She will be candid about fit and next steps if the match does not feel right.
How her approaches inform online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening to each person's priorities and building sessions around their goals. It helps when someone wants a respectful, collaborative place to figure out next steps and personal values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors together and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for stress, depression, and many everyday challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy involves simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase presence. It can support coping with anxiety, cravings, and strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That way the plan is a joint decision rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to continue work between meetings. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Practical benefits often include shorter check-ins, easier scheduling around work, and avoiding travel time so more attention can go to the therapeutic work.
