About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She uses clear, practical methods to help people reduce anxiety, manage stress, and regain control over daily life.
Her style is direct and interactive, focused on measurable change rather than long-term dependency. Her work combines client-centered care, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness practices to match each person’s needs. In sessions she helps people identify unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and practice simple mindfulness skills.
Background and approach
She also addresses relationship and intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, and life transitions. Dr. Foster has developed particular experience with autism spectrum challenges and mental health issues linked to female medical conditions.
She also spent a decade working in disability services at the college level, which informs her practical problem-solving approach. Her LPC credential reflects her professional standing in Pennsylvania. Clients can expect a straightforward therapist who gives honest feedback and will say if the fit isn’t right.
Sessions are interactive and action-oriented, with a focus on short-term progress and clear next steps. She helps people create plans they can use between sessions. People looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship or intimacy difficulties, ADHD, or coping with major life changes may find her approach useful.
Dr. Foster supports international clients and conducts sessions in English, offering several online formats to suit different needs.
How her approaches work in online therapy
Client-centered therapy starts by focusing on the person’s goals and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps people choose steps that feel right for them. This approach is useful when someone needs support finding direction or making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions typically include working on specific skills, testing new behaviors between meetings, and tracking progress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and problems with motivation or focus.
Mindfulness therapy teaches simple exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Short practices can help with stress, panic, and intense emotions by slowing things down and creating options for responding differently.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on progress and comfort.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick updates, coaching between sessions, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
