About Lucinda
Lucinda Foster is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, depression, addictions, family strain, grief, career questions, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not take international clients.
She trained in counseling at Wichita State University where she earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master’s degree in Counseling. Over two decades she has worked in day programs, academic advising, welfare services, outreach counseling, and special education counseling. Those roles included work with parents, schools, and individuals on communication, parenting, anxiety, depression, and anger management.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She aims to use practical steps that change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also has experience addressing addictions, gambling issues, and grief through concrete strategies and short-term goals.
Lucinda lists additional focus areas including life purpose, trichotillomania, women’s issues, and concerns common to young adults. She notes having completed various trainings during her career and holds a credential in distance counseling. Her perspective emphasizes working with others to move past roadblocks and learn new ways of responding to everyday problems.

How Lucinda uses structured approaches in remote sessions
Lucinda works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in straightforward terms - identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing those ideas, and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, depression, and some behavior patterns that keep problems going.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting what a person says to help them clarify goals. Solution-Focused Therapy appears in her work as brief goal-setting and small practical steps to change a situation rather than long-term exploration.
Choosing the right mix of these approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client look at current needs, short-term goals, and what feels workable. They adjust methods as sessions progress so the work stays practical and goal-directed.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a weeknight or a lunch break, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help people try out techniques between sessions and keep changes connected to everyday life.
