About Cathy
Cathy Foster is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who helps people manage anger and related concerns. She focuses on practical steps people can take right away. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at reducing overwhelm and restoring clearer thinking.
Cathy draws on a mix of well-known therapy approaches to match each person's needs. Sessions often include making small behavior changes, practicing new ways to handle intense feelings, and learning tools to calm the body and mind.
Background and approach
She uses cognitive techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and mindfulness skills to reduce reactivity. Her background includes 14 years working in mental health settings with a range of ages and concerns. That experience has shaped a flexible, problem-solving approach.
Cathy emphasizes realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes. People come to her for a wide set of issues beyond anger, including stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, trauma, grief, and problems with sleep or eating. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting stress, and life changes that feel overwhelming.
Cathy asks clients to identify one or two priorities early on so work feels focused. Sessions can include skill practice, guided reflection, and planning for real-life moments when strong feelings surface. The aim is to leave each session with clear next steps and things to try between meetings.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship so people feel understood and heard. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort out emotions and make decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior. It uses practical exercises and homework to change patterns that fuel anger, anxiety, and low mood.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches clear skills for managing strong emotions, controlling impulses, and improving relationships. These skills are helpful when reactions feel intense or hard to control.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a few strategies, and adjust based on what helps most. This means sessions can change over time to match progress and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions can fit a commute or a tight schedule and use less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, written practice, and ongoing support between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or family commitments.
