About Kellie
Kellie Foster is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 13 years of experience. She practices in Florida and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, career strain, compassion fatigue, and issues related to adoption and caregiving.
Her manner is laid back and conversational. Sessions are collaborative - she treats clients as the expert on their life and helps them talk through what matters. She draws on multiple methods rather than using a single fixed approach. That means practical techniques get matched to specific concerns instead of a one-size-fits-all plan.
In sessions she may use ideas from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy among other approaches. These tools are used to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and reconnect with values that matter to them. The focus is on problem-solving and clearer choices rather than labels.
Her background includes work with issues such as chronic illness, caregiving stress, fertility and adoption challenges, blended family matters, first responder stress, and coping after disasters. She also lists support for LGBT concerns and forgiveness work.
She offers teletherapy and asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, then clarify what matters and take small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviors that keep problems going. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a conversational, non-directive stance where the therapist follows the client’s lead and supports personal reflection.Choosing an approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan as sessions unfold. That means sessions can combine methods and change focus as needs evolve.
The biography indicates she provides teletherapy. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking so you know what to expect. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. It also lets people use audio-only options if they prefer less bandwidth or no camera. Licensed professionals can help adapt exercises and practice skills during virtual sessions so the work stays practical and focused.
