Lucinda Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with two decades of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting struggles, and grief. She also supports those facing depression, addiction concerns, career questions, and the challenges of ADHD. Lucinda writes plainly and listens carefully to what matters most to each person who comes in.
Lucinda earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science in Counseling from Wichita State University in Kansas. She has worked in many settings, including day programs for people with severe mental illness, academic advising, welfare services, outreach counseling, and special education on a reservation and nearby communities in Arizona.
In those roles she worked directly on parenting, communication, anger management, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and addiction issues. She also has experience addressing gambling problems and supporting young adults and women through life transitions. Her work has involved cooperating with schools, parents, and community partners.
Her clinical approach draws on Client-Centered work, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Lucinda aims to offer a calm, unbiased ear and to help people develop ways to handle daily struggles and reach chosen goals.
Outside of practice she is married and raises three sons, and she values strong family connections. Her goal in therapy is to help people stop going it alone, find support, and take the first step toward change.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person's concerns, using empathetic listening and reflection to help them find their own solutions. This approach works well for self esteem, parenting worries, and emotional support because it focuses on what the person most needs to say and be heard about.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and ADHD-related strategies because it breaks larger problems into manageable steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes setting short-term goals and identifying practical next steps. It can be useful when someone wants to move past a roadblock quickly or needs focused tools for life transitions and career decisions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try different strategies to see what helps most. Clients and the therapist decide together how to adapt techniques to individual needs.
