About Kellie

Kellie Foster is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship challenges, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

With 13 years of clinical experience and licensure noted as MA LMHC LMHC10001303 and NH LCMHC 5656, she brings a practical, collaborative approach to each person’s situation.

Based in Florida, she also lists work addressing adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family challenges, cancer-related stress, caregiving burdens, chronic pain or illness, communication problems, disaster-related coping, divorce, fertility concerns, and forgiveness. Her style leans conversational and client-centered, emphasizing partnership rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Kellie draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among other approaches to tailor interventions to the needs and values of each individual, aiming to reduce labeling and strengthen clients’ own strengths and insight. She frames therapy as a space for honest exploration, helping people clarify goals and build practical tools for change.

Teletherapy is part of her practice and sessions are offered through formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Prospective clients in Florida who communicate in English can begin by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing a short matching questionnaire to schedule according to therapist availability.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online therapy

Kellie commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address patterns of thinking and to clarify values that guide meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and building practical skills to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, while ACT emphasizes accepting difficult feelings and committing to values-driven behavior when coping with life changes.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to create a collaborative atmosphere where the client's perspective guides the work. This means therapists listen deeply, reflect back what they hear, and work together with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and she partners with each person to determine what works best for their situation. That collaborative stance helps tailor interventions to individual needs and makes adjustments as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Kellie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These formats allow sessions to fit around work, caregiving, and health constraints while maintaining continuity of care through scheduled appointments and ongoing messaging options.
