Kayann Foster , LPC, LMHC

Kayann Foster is a Washington-licensed therapist with five years of clinical experience supporting people through addiction, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and confidence struggles, motivation challenges, and career-related difficulties. She holds LPC and LMHC credentials - LPC stands for Licensed Professional Counselor and LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor - which reflect formal training and state licensure to provide mental health care.

She approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, shaping conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs rather than relying on a single method. Kayann emphasizes collaborative work, inviting clients to name their goals while offering practical tools and strategies to move toward a more fulfilling life.

Recognizing the courage required to seek change, she focuses on empowering clients through steady support and tailored interventions. Whether addressing substance use, the impacts of past trauma, or transitions in work and identity, Kayann aims to create a therapeutic process that honors each client’s pace and priorities, helping them build resilience and greater well-being over time.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Kayann commonly uses Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Motivational Interviewing in her work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathic relationship and supports clients in exploring their own values and goals - this approach can help with confidence, self-esteem, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical skills to manage anxiety, depression, or stress. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation to change behaviors such as substance use.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kayann works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so therapy remains focused and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit support into a busy life and to access help from home or other convenient locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication styles, enabling clients to choose the mode that feels most comfortable while working toward their goals with a licensed professional.
