Cathy Foster, LPC

Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with 14 years of counseling experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship struggles, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy issues, sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and life transitions. She also focuses on body image, codependency, communication and control issues, and problems around commitment and infidelity.

Her style centers on practical conversation and clear goals. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that keep someone stuck and on learning small, usable skills to change those patterns. Cathy uses a mix of approaches so sessions can shift between talking through thoughts and practicing new behaviors.

She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's concerns and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test different responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills and mindfulness exercises help with emotional regulation and tolerating distress.

Cathy has worked in mental health settings with children, adolescents, and adults over a longer career. That background informs her work with adults who grew up in difficult family systems or who now find themselves over-responsible for others. She encourages steady, practical steps toward clearer boundaries and healthier patterns.

She invites people who are tired of people-pleasing or who feel controlled by someone else's moods to try straightforward, skill-focused sessions. The goal is clearer thinking, better coping, and more reliable ways to protect one’s own needs while staying connected to others.
