About Kayann
Kayann Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with anger, addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, parenting stress, and career pressures. Sessions are direct and pragmatic, aimed at reducing the daily problems that wear people down.
Her approach focuses on clear conversation and concrete steps. She uses client-centered work to listen to what matters most to each person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing are used to change unhelpful thoughts and build real motivation for change. Trauma-focused techniques are included when painful events are part of the problem.
In practical terms she helps people notice patterns that lead to snapping, avoidance, or bottle-up resentment. Therapy looks at what happens before and after strong reactions, and then builds small shifts that make a difference over time. Expect goal-oriented sessions with time for reflection and actionable homework when helpful.
Kayann also addresses related concerns like codependency, substance use, postpartum issues, multicultural and immigration-related stress, and feelings of guilt or shame. Her work includes support for men’s issues, young adult challenges, and midlife transitions.
Sessions are offered in English. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Approaches used and how online sessions are handled
Kayann commonly draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in online work. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters to the person. CBT looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that fuel anger or anxiety.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to build readiness for change. This approach helps people clarify their own reasons for shifting habits, which can be useful when addressing addictions, avoidance, or stuck patterns. Together these methods aim to be collaborative, with the therapist and client deciding which path fits the situation and goals.
