Kellie Foster, LMHC, LCMHC - Therapist in Florida

About Kellie

Kellie Foster is a licensed mental health counselor with 13 years of clinical experience. She offers a calm, conversational approach aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and major life changes. Her manner is relaxed but focused, and she works to build a trusting relationship so clients can talk honestly about what’s hard right now.

Her practice emphasizes practical work tailored to each person rather than a single fixed method.

Background and approach

She draws on evidence-based tools when they fit the situation and avoids heavy labeling. Sessions tend to feel like a partnership where the client’s values and goals guide the work. Kellie is credentialed as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor - LMHC and also holds a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - LCMHC credential.

She practices from Florida and conducts sessions in English. Her background includes years providing teletherapy, so she is familiar with remote session formats. She uses several therapeutic approaches and adapts them based on what a client needs most.

That might mean focusing on thoughts and behaviors one week or using emotion-focused methods another week. The aim is steady, practical progress toward goals that matter to each client. Typical concerns addressed include self-esteem, relationship and family issues, caregiving stress, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.

Other focuses listed in her work are adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family matters, fertility and caregiver issues, chronic illness and pain, and responses to trauma or disaster.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention to what matters and teaching practical ways to tolerate difficult feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines unhelpful thoughts and patterns and offers concrete skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it gives clear exercises people can try between sessions.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, centers on understanding and responding to strong emotions. It can help people name feelings, build emotional awareness, and improve how they express needs during stressful times.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and preferences. That collaborative process may include trying different techniques and checking in about what helps.

Online sessions make it easier to attend therapy from home or work, with options for video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for scheduling and let people pick the way of working that fits their life and comfort level.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
