About Lucinda
Lucinda Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Arizona with 20 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, career questions, ADHD, and related concerns.
She trained in counseling at Wichita State University where she completed a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Counseling. Early work included day programs for people with severe and chronic mental illness, academic advising, and welfare services. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of problems and practical ways to help.
After moving to the Phoenix area she worked as an outreach counselor and Special Education Counselor serving the Reservation and nearby towns in Pinal County. In that role she supported children, parents, and school staff around communication, parenting, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and managing anger. She also worked with addiction and relationship concerns.
Her continuing education includes a variety of trainings and a credential in distance counseling. She lists Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy among her approaches. In session she offers straightforward conversation, problem-solving tools, and skills people can try between meetings.
Lucinda describes therapy as collaborative practical work. She says small changes can reduce recurring frustration and improve daily interactions. She aims to listen without judgment, offer concrete suggestions, and help people move past roadblocks so life feels more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows your lead, helps you name what matters, and supports practical next steps for things like managing anger or improving communication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches specific strategies to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and change behaviors that fuel anger, anxiety, or low mood. Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, concrete changes that move a problem forward. It is useful for setting short-term goals and creating steps you can try between sessions. Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. She will collaborate with the client to see which methods fit their goals and preferences. That conversation shapes session focus and priorities. Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Those practical benefits often help people use therapy more consistently while they practice new skills.Areas of expertise
