About Kellie

Kellie Foster is a licensed mental health counselor who aims to make therapy feel straightforward and approachable. She speaks plainly, listens closely, and helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, and career or relationship strain. Kellie offers teletherapy and works in ways that fit each person rather than using one fixed method.

Kellie uses a conversational, relaxed style in sessions. She treats therapy as a partnership and focuses on building trust before trying new techniques.

Background and approach

She wants clients to feel heard and to take an active role in decisions about therapy. Her work draws from several approaches, including Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Existential Therapy.

That mix lets her respond to things like self-esteem struggles, life transitions, compassion fatigue, and family-of-origin issues with flexible tools and simple practices people can use between sessions. Kellie has 13 years of clinical experience and holds MA LMHC and NH LCMHC credentials.

Her practice includes helping people facing adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, fertility or fertility-related loss, and challenges tied to blended families or divorce. Sessions are offered in English and are provided through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

She invites people who want practical support and a respectful, down-to-earth therapeutic relationship to begin with a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session.

Online support

How therapy methods meet your needs online

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on emotions and attachment patterns. In simple terms, EFT helps people notice their emotional reactions, understand how those reactions shape relationships and choices, and try new ways of responding that feel more connected and calm.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes values and mindful action. It teaches practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward the life someone wants to build, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own perspective. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what they hear, and supports the client’s sense of agency and self-understanding.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying techniques together, tracking what helps, and changing course when something doesn’t fit.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. Video sessions can recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat lets people send quick updates, and messaging supports brief check-ins between meetings. This mix helps therapy fit around work, caregiving, health issues, and other daily demands.
