About Kellie
Kellie Foster is a licensed mental health counselor (MA LMHC, NH LCMHC) with 13 years of experience based in Florida. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and the pressures of caregiving and career changes.
She keeps conversation straightforward and relaxed. Sessions are collaborative and driven by what the client wants to address. Kellie uses practical tools rather than labels and focuses on understanding each person's life and priorities.
Her approach mixes several evidence-based methods to fit the problem at hand. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. Emotionally-Focused and Client-Centered ideas inform how she uses connection and listening in sessions.
Kellie also pays attention to specific family-related issues such as adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, fertility challenges, and family-of-origin concerns. She supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving stress, cancer, and end-of-life worries, alongside life transitions like divorce and separation.
Sessions are run with an emphasis on practical coping skills, clearer communication, and setting small workable goals. She asks questions and offers exercises that people can try between meetings. To start, prospective clients follow the site steps to match and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing meaningful actions despite them. It often helps when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life and values-based goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) emphasizes understanding and working with emotional responses to improve communication and connection during conflict or loss.Picking the right approach is part of the process. Kellie will work together with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaboration includes trying tools in session and adjusting them over time based on what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Many people find that remote meetings let them bring real-life examples from home into the conversation and practice new skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises to the online setting so sessions stay focused and practical.
