About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is an LPC with 25 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical change and helps people make concrete steps forward rather than staying in therapy indefinitely. Her style is direct and interactive, and she aims for clear, measurable progress.
She blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Mindfulness Therapy to match a person's needs. Sessions often involve identifying small, doable changes and practicing skills between meetings. The work addresses stress, anxiety, relationships, intimacy issues, depression, addictions, grief, and self-esteem concerns, among other topics.
Dr. Foster has experience supporting people with ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. She also brings knowledge from a decade working in college disability services and from clinical work with women facing medical issues that affect mental health. That background informs how she helps people navigate work, caregiving, and major life transitions.
She is straightforward about fit and progress, and will tell a client if another approach might be better. Her assessment and diagnostic skills are a central part of how she plans care. People can expect an approach that balances practical skill-building with attention to feelings and values.
Dr. Foster practices in Pennsylvania and provides services in English. She accepts international clients. Before booking, confirm current session options and scheduling details with the platform or clinic.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers on the client's priorities and values. It emphasizes listening, empathy, and helping the person set goals that matter to them. This approach is helpful for relationship, identity, and life-change concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills. It looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches techniques for changing them. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problem patterns like codependency.
Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment using simple practices. It helps people notice stress reactions and choose responses instead of reacting automatically. Mindfulness can support mood regulation, coping with cravings, and reducing reactivity in relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean mixing elements from different approaches and adjusting as progress is made.
Confirm current online session options before booking, since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Ask about session length and scheduling when you start the matching process to make sure it fits your routine.
