01About Lucinda
Lucinda Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, career questions, and ADHD. She works with individuals navigating life purpose and young adult issues, and she offers support around women's issues and trichotillomania. Her style is straightforward and practical.
She listens first, then helps clients choose small, workable steps forward. She trained at Wichita State University, earning a Master of Science in Counseling after completing a Bachelor of Science.
Background and approach
Over two decades of work have taken her into day programs, academic advising, welfare services, outreach counseling, and special education settings. Those roles gave hands-on experience with relationship and communication challenges, parenting, school-related concerns, and substance and gambling problems. Sessions tend to focus on present problems and usable strategies.
She uses client-centered conversations to understand each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help break unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Solution-focused techniques aim to identify small changes that produce real relief.
Her background includes work with reservation communities and small towns in Pinal County, Arizona, and roles that involved coordination with schools and parents. She brings practical tools earned from varied settings rather than a single institutional approach. The goal is to help people manage everyday struggles so life feels more manageable.
Lucinda emphasizes collaboration. She frames counseling as a team effort where the client’s goals guide the work. New clients are guided through easy next steps to begin meeting the challenges that brought them to therapy.

04Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. The therapist follows the client's lead to understand values and priorities, which helps guide what to work on first.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It introduces clear skills and exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and anger.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick wins. The work targets specific goals and looks for what is already working so change can begin right away.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they will try methods that fit the client's needs and adjust as progress is made.
Online formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options increase flexibility so therapy can proceed around work, school, and family obligations.
