About Cathy

Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, and relationship concerns. She listens carefully and works with each person to set simple, realistic goals.

Her approach is practical and conversational. Cathy uses Narrative Therapy and Client-Centered methods to help people make sense of their stories and regain control. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when helpful, plus mindfulness practices to calm racing thoughts.

Background and approach

Over 14 years of clinical experience shape her work. She has spent long periods supporting people facing grief, parenting strain, sleep and eating troubles, and difficulties with intimacy or self-esteem. She helps people manage anger, impulsivity, and substance use concerns with steady, problem-focused steps.

Cathy encourages people to name the unhelpful patterns that keep them limited. Then she helps them test new behaviors and stories in everyday life. Sessions aim to be clear, doable, and focused on the client’s goals rather than long lists of theory.

She offers sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling follows therapist availability. Work is conducted in English and is based in Mississippi.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

How Cathy’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on building an understanding relationship. The therapist listens without judgment and helps people identify their goals and strengths. This method is useful for people needing a compassionate space to talk through life changes and relationship concerns.

Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from the problems they face. By examining the stories people tell about their lives, the therapist helps them reframe experiences and try new behaviors. This approach often helps with identity, codependency, body image, and feelings of emptiness.

CBT offers practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Short exercises and homework help people practice new skills between sessions, which can aid with anxiety, depression, and coping with impulses.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and combine methods that fit the person’s needs. Clients and the therapist adapt the plan as progress and challenges arise.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth work and practicing skills together. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support, or when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
