About Kellie
Kellie Foster is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Florida with 13 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grieving, relationship and family challenges, career concerns, compassion fatigue, and other life transitions. Sessions focus on practical conversation and real goals.
Kellie uses a conversational, down-to-earth style. She treats therapy as a partnership and asks clients what matters most to them. She draws from Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy to match tools to the situation.
In a session she listens for patterns in feelings and behavior. She helps name emotions that are hard to put into words. She also uses exercises that encourage new ways of responding to stress, grief, or relationship tensions. Work can include short skills practice, values-based planning, or talking through difficult memories.
Kellie pays attention to family of origin issues, blended family concerns, adoption and foster care matters, caregiver stress, and health-related challenges like chronic illness or cancer. She also supports people facing divorce, fertility struggles, and professional stress including first responder issues.
She offers teletherapy and aims to make sessions fit into everyday life. Getting started involves completing a short questionnaire and scheduling a first session so goals and practical steps can be set together.
How Kellie uses EFT, ACT and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming emotions and the patterns that keep people stuck; it is often used to help people recognize and shift repetitive emotional responses. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clarify values and encourages actions that align with those values while teaching ways to reduce struggle with painful thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Kellie works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she blends techniques when that better serves the situation. The focus stays on practical steps the client can try between sessions.

Some formats are better for brief check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, while others suit longer conversational work. Discussing scheduling needs and preferred ways to connect is part of the initial planning so sessions integrate into daily responsibilities.
