About Cathy
Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety. She greets each person with a straightforward, caring approach and aims to make therapy practical and understandable. Cathy uses clear steps so clients can see progress as they work toward better day-to-day functioning.
Cathy draws on 14 years of counseling experience to guide conversations about relationships, grief, trauma, addiction, and mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals that fit their lives. Sessions are grounded in real-world skills rather than abstract theory. Her work includes attention to family and parenting struggles, problems with sleep and eating, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Cathy also addresses patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, and difficulties with commitment or control. She helps people untangle what keeps them feeling stuck and build coping habits that last. Therapeutic approaches she uses include client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing.
Those tools are chosen to match the person’s needs and preferences. Cathy prefers a collaborative process that blends conversation, practical exercises, and step-by-step skill building. Clients in Mississippi and elsewhere who are comfortable working in English can meet by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Cathy works with people addressing a wide range of life changes and emotional concerns and helps them create a clearer path forward.
How Cathy’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding where a person is coming from. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals and strengths to guide each session. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, and mood concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building better interpersonal skills.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work together. Cathy collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adjusts tools over time so sessions stay relevant and focused on small, achievable changes.
Online therapy makes using these approaches more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions can work when someone needs a quick check-in or has limited bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send updates between sessions, try brief skills practice, or get support without scheduling a full call. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between meetings.
