About Cathy
Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She aims to help people who feel stuck by listening, noticing patterns, and working toward clear, reachable goals. Cathy draws on practical methods to address stress, anxiety, depression, and addictions.
She helps people facing trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy struggles, eating or sleeping difficulties, and problems with anger or self-esteem. She also supports those managing bipolar symptoms and big life changes.
How Cathy works
Her approach centers on the person in front of her. Cathy uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person's pace and priorities. She pairs that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage strong emotions.
Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also tools she brings when they fit the client's needs. Sessions focus on specific, practical steps. Cathy helps people set small goals, try out new ways of coping, and track what works over time.
When issues involve communication, control, codependency, infidelity, or commitment worries, she aims to make those patterns clearer and more manageable. With 14 years of counseling experience, Cathy combines steady support with straightforward techniques. Her work emphasizes hope and movement forward, helping people reclaim purpose, repair routines like sleep and eating, and rebuild a sense of direction.

Online support options
Therapeutic tools for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following each person's priorities to build trust and set goals. It helps when someone needs a calm space to sort out feelings and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect actions and mood and teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep or eating changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Cathy will work with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she will adjust strategies as progress is made. The client and therapist check in together about what helps and what needs to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for more in-depth work and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer quick, flexible ways to touch base between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while using the therapeutic approaches that best suit each person.
