About Kayann
Kayann Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with five years of experience. She works with people facing addictions, trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, stress, self-esteem issues, and parenting challenges. She also addresses career concerns, relationship difficulties, and compassion fatigue.
Kayann uses straightforward conversation and practical steps. She focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits, then testing different ways of responding. Sessions are session-oriented and aim to build skills people can use between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing. That means she helps clients identify patterns that keep problems going, sets small goals, and checks progress together. She also uses solution-focused and trauma-focused techniques when they fit the situation.
Kayann keeps plans concrete. She helps people make brief, doable changes and measures whether those changes help. For issues like addiction or postpartum depression, she works to break big problems into manageable steps and to strengthen motivation for change.
People who prefer direct, structured sessions may find this style useful. Kayann asks about what currently works and what doesn’t, sets clear short-term goals, and reviews results. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Kayann uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thought and behavior that worsen anxiety or depression, then practice alternative responses. Client-Centered Therapy guides how she listens and reflects, helping people clarify goals and priorities. Motivational Interviewing is used to boost readiness for change and set concrete next steps for issues like addiction or career shifts.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match goals and preferences, and will adjust techniques if something isn’t working. The focus is on practical steps and measurable progress rather than fitting a single method to every problem.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people use remote sessions to fit therapy into work breaks, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings can also make it easier to keep momentum between appointments by simplifying scheduling and letting clients use brief sessions for focused skills practice.
