About Jessica

Jessica Foster is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia. She brings five years of experience and focuses on common struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting concerns. She aims to make therapy a straightforward, practical experience for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

She combines client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy, meeting each person where they are. Sessions focus on clear steps clients can try between meetings, and on talking through thoughts and patterns that get in the way.

Background and approach

Jessica keeps the conversation direct and down-to-earth so parents can find useful ideas fast. Her work includes attention to addictions, intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, grief, and coping with life changes. She is also familiar with issues such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility and fatherhood issues, postpartum depression, and first responder concerns.

These topics often overlap, and she adapts practical strategies to each situation. Jessica creates an open space for people to share without judgment. She supports clients as they set realistic goals and try new ways of handling problems.

The focus is on what helps day to day rather than jargon or complex theory. For those exploring therapy, she uses a mix of talking, problem-solving, and evidence-based techniques. Her goal is to help clients build skills they can use at home, with attention to the specific demands parents and caregivers face.

How her approaches work online

Client-centered therapy is about listening closely and shaping sessions around each person's priorities. It helps people feel heard and guides conversations toward practical changes that matter in daily life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying different behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or panic. CBT often includes short exercises clients use between sessions to test new ways of thinking.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the client's needs central to each step.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions provide a simple alternative. Live chat and text-based messaging let clients check in or work through smaller issues between meetings. These formats increase flexibility and make it simpler to try therapy without changing daily routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
