About Kellie

Kellie Foster is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, MA LMHC, and holds an LCMHC in New Hampshire with 13 years of clinical experience. She practices from Florida and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and life transitions. Her stated additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and other adjustment challenges.

She describes a laid-back, conversational style that keeps sessions practical and relational. Sessions are framed as a partnership where the client’s perspective guides the work. Techniques are chosen from several approaches rather than a single method. Kellie emphasizes minimizing labels and listening to each person’s story before choosing interventions.

In practice she mixes acceptance-based strategies, cognitive tools, and emotion-focused work depending on the problem presented. People can expect straightforward skills for coping with anxiety and stress alongside deeper exploration of values, attachment, and meaning when needed. Coaching-style conversations are used for career and life-change goals.

Kellie has provided teletherapy and reports experience with remote sessions. She notes collaboration about goals and methods as part of early sessions. The first meetings typically focus on identifying pressing concerns, practical steps, and what the client wants from counseling.

Readers considering support for stepfamily or blended household issues will find her experience with family and relationship matters relevant. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. Online ACT work often includes exercises to notice thoughts and commit to value-based actions between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different behaviors. In remote sessions this can look like homework exercises, quick thought records, and coaching on practical coping skills. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotions and attachment-related responses; used online, it supports naming feelings and trying new ways of relating to loved ones.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has helped before to select methods together. That collaboration guides whether to emphasize skills training, values work, or emotion-focused exploration in early sessions.

The original biography mentions teletherapy experience, so confirm the exact session formats before you book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow brief check-ins when needed. They also allow practical tasks such as in-the-moment coaching for a stressful conversation or assigning short between-session exercises to practice at home. Ask about format details and how sessions will be structured when you schedule your first appointment.
