About Yvonne
Dr. Yvonne Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who face stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction issues, grief, and challenges like codependency and ADHD.
She favors a direct, active style in sessions. She says therapy should move toward change rather than last for years. Sessions focus on identifying concrete steps and practicing new ways of responding to old patterns.
Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness. That means she listens to each person’s goals, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and introduces simple mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity and increase awareness.
Dr. Foster highlights assessment and diagnostic skills as strengths. She also notes a background working with people on the autism spectrum and experience with disability services in higher education. She is practical about fit and will say when a different direction might be better.
People who choose her can expect an interactive style rather than a passive one. The focus is on clear steps - recognizing patterns, practicing different responses, and tracking small changes over time. She works with English-speaking clients in Pennsylvania and accepts international clients, with details on session options confirmed before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building clear goals. In practice that means the therapist reflects what matters to the client and helps shape priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions; online sessions often use brief exercises and homework to practice new habits between meetings. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus; these skills can be guided in session and then practiced day to day.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is tracked. This keeps therapy practical and focused on actionable steps.
The practical benefits of online sessions are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Online work can make it easier to keep appointments around work or caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled and billed.
