About Eloise
Eloise Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Virginia. She has 12 years of clinical experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, family conflict, grief, and self-esteem concerns. She focuses on practical support.
Sessions are straightforward and centered on the person's goals. Eloise creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through what is most pressing and decide on next steps. Her work draws on client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening and tailoring the pace to the person, and cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going.
How Eloise works
Those approaches are used to address issues like social anxiety, communication problems, and coping with life transitions. Eloise also offers help with more specific situations such as abandonment, adoption and foster care questions, blended family issues, caregiver stress, divorce and separation, and end-of-life and hospice concerns. She supports people dealing with guilt, forgiveness, midlife changes, aging and geriatric matters, and women's issues.
She conducts sessions in English and works online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Therapy subscriptions can be canceled at any time and scheduling is arranged through the platform's matching and booking process.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions using this approach begin with the individual's priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going; in remote sessions this often means setting small practice goals between meetings and reviewing how new strategies worked.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Eloise will discuss options with each person and together they will choose methods that match goals, comfort with technology, and what a person hopes to change. The process is collaborative and adjusts over time as needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short check-ins, and text-based messaging works for ongoing support without scheduled meetings. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep momentum between sessions.
