About Lucinda
Lucinda Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Arizona who helps people facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, career uncertainty, and ADHD. She also focuses on life purpose, trichotillomania, women’s issues, and concerns common to young adults. Her approach aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.
She trained at Wichita State University in Kansas, earning a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s degree in Counseling. Over about two decades she has worked in many settings, including day programs, academic advising, welfare services, outreach counseling, and special education on a reservation. Those roles involved collaborating with parents, schools, and community resources.
In practice she combines Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Sessions often center on listening, practical problem solving, and identifying small changes that add up. She describes therapy as a partnership where people learn tools to handle everyday struggles and reach personal goals.
Her background includes work with addiction and relationship concerns and a range of trainings that have broadened her experience. Lucinda emphasizes steady support rather than quick fixes, offering a listening ear and concrete strategies when life feels stuck.
People who want to begin are invited to take a first step and complete a short intake so scheduling can be arranged according to availability.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience first and focuses on being heard and understood. This approach helps when someone needs empathy, steady support, and a place to sort through feelings without pressure.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions link together and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and unhelpful habits by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist listens to your goals and preferences and adjusts methods over time. Together you decide whether to try a listening-based session, skill practice, or short solution-focused work depending on what feels most useful.
Please confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be held. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports working through concrete problems and practicing new skills between meetings, while keeping the focus on what helps you move forward.
