About Eloise
Eloise Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She has 12 years of clinical experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and self-esteem challenges. Eloise speaks English and brings a steady, practical approach to sessions.
She trained in social work and holds a Master of Social Work. Eloise also taught social work and human services for many years, which shaped her clear, straightforward style. In the room she focuses on listening first and helping people feel understood before moving to problem solving.
Eloise uses Client-Centered Therapy to let each person set the pace and goals. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, offering tools to change unhelpful thoughts and small steps to shift behavior. Sessions are conversational and aimed at concrete changes you can try between meetings.
Her background includes work with adoption and foster care, caregiving stress, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family issues, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and related family challenges. That experience informs how she talks about family patterns and caregiving strain in sessions.
People often come for help with communication problems, midlife transitions, social anxiety, and feelings of guilt or shame. Eloise’s style is warm and nonjudgmental, focused on helping people notice what’s getting in the way and take practical steps toward feeling better.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on giving people space to talk and choose the pace of work, with the therapist following the client's lead and reflecting what they hear. This approach helps when someone needs to feel heard first before deciding what to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers clear, practical steps to test thoughts and try small behavior changes between sessions; it is useful for stress, anxiety, and patterns that keep repeating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns and goals, then suggest ways of working that match what you want to achieve. Together you can adjust methods and pace as progress is made and new needs arise.
Confirm the current session options before booking if you need a specific format. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when schedules are tight. Some people find talking from home helps them focus, while others prefer shorter phone conversations or audio-only check-ins for less screen time. Discussing practical needs up front helps shape sessions that fit your day-to-day routine.
