Kayann Foster, LPC, LMHC

Kayann Foster is a licensed counselor in Washington who supports people facing midlife transitions and a wide range of life stresses. She helps with anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, relationship difficulties, work problems, and parenting strain. Her approach aims to make change feel possible and manageable.

Kayann keeps conversations focused and respectful. She adapts the plan to each person's needs and pace. Sessions emphasize practical steps, clear goals, and honest reflection rather than complicated jargon.

Her work draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person's experience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck about change.

She also uses solution-focused and trauma-aware techniques to address immediate concerns and long-standing pain. These approaches support people coping with loss, trauma, substance use challenges, midlife questioning, and burnout.

Kayann brings five years of professional experience as an LPC and LMHC. She aims to offer a calm, encouraging space where people can explore goals and build new coping skills. Reaching out is framed as the first practical step toward a different chapter.

How her approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's perspective, helping them feel heard and guiding the conversation based on their priorities. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through life changes and midlife concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies patterns of thinking that lead to distress and teaches concrete skills to shift those patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, stress, and changing behaviors tied to addictions.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation. It can be especially helpful for substance use, career changes, and when someone feels stuck.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans based on what helps. Clients shape the pace and focus during early sessions so the approach matches their needs and preferences.

Confirm current session options before booking because formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access a licensed professional from their own area while they explore coping skills, set goals, and work through transitions.
