About Kayann
Kayann Foster is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and difficulties with addiction. She focuses on practical support for parenting concerns, relationship stress, career shifts, and life transitions. Her tone is respectful and compassionate while keeping conversations straightforward.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her, asking about immediate needs and what feels most useful.
Background and approach
She builds a plan together that fits each person's goals and pace. That plan can include short-term strategies and longer work on patterns that cause trouble. Kayann uses evidence-informed approaches to guide the work.
She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and on solution-focused steps to create change quickly. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck or uncertain about making a change. Sessions are practical and focused on real life.
A typical meeting might include setting one or two goals, trying a new coping skill, and checking progress the next week. She pays attention to cultural background and life context when shaping the plan. With five years of experience working in Washington, Kayann aims to make therapy accessible and understandable.
She meets people where they are and supports steady progress toward clearer choices and calmer days.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Then she will suggest methods and adjust them based on your feedback so the plan fits your life and priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let you work face-to-face when visual cues help. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a camera feels like too much. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or fit a short conversation into a busy day. These formats make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, childcare, and other responsibilities.
