Cathy Foster, LPC

Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people struggling with stress and anxiety find clearer footing. She communicates plainly and aims to make therapy feel doable for someone juggling family, work, or other daily demands.

Cathy draws on a mix of practical approaches including cognitive strategies and mindfulness. Sessions focus on identifying small, realistic steps that reduce overwhelm and improve coping. She encourages clients to use their own strengths as part of recovery and growth.

Her background includes 14 years in counseling roles in Mississippi. That experience includes work across concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, grief, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting stresses, anger, and self-esteem struggles.

Cathy also supports people facing life changes like divorce or separation, job shifts, and questions about life purpose. Additional focus areas listed include body image, codependency, communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, infidelity, isolation, and forgiveness.

In sessions she uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. These methods are used to set goals, reduce distress, and build practical skills for everyday life.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and support calmer thinking in daily moments. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they tailor techniques and homework so the plan matches the client’s life and priorities.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove the need to travel. It also supports using in-the-moment practices between sessions, such as short mindfulness exercises or tracking thoughts for CBT homework. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches so clients continue building skills and making steady progress even when meeting remotely.
