Hello, and welcome to my virtual office! I would first like to acknowledge your strength and courage in taking this step toward making your mental health and wellness a priority.
To tell you a bit about my background, I am a licensed therapist in FL, MA, OR, WA, and NH with over 10 years experience working with a variety of populations as I have strived to assist clients on their journey toward hope, growth, and healing. I am also well-versed in providing teletherapy services,.
I would describe my style as laid back and conversational in nature. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership, in which the therapeutic alliance sets the foundation for successful outcomes. As an integrated therapist, I reject a “one size fits all” approach. I draw from various modalities as necessitated by the presenting issue, and believe that techniques should be tailored to individualized needs. I seek to minimize “labeling,” and strive to make a genuine human connection with clients as they share their unique worldview and experiences.
Ultimately, I believe it is the client who is the expert of his or her own life. It is my goal to provide an empathetic space where clients feel safe and empowered to be their authentic selves and live in their truth. I look forward to working with you, and believe that together, we can foster positive change in your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kellie is a wonderfully personable therapist. She is easy to talk to and her expertise is always appreciated. I would recommend her to anyone.

Kellie is a dedicated and compassionate listener. She has a way of helping you to frame issues with a fair and kind perspective of yourself and is helpful in allowing you to brainstorm solutions as a team! Consider working with her to have a passionate listening ear and helpful self-directed work. Thankful to Kellie for her work.
Kellie is a wonderful person to talk to, she always hears me out, and she offers great advice. She always responds to my messages and has given me tools to work on myself even when I don’t message her. I appreciate talking with Kellie every week and I am truly grateful for the effort that she puts in to each appointment.
Kellie is the best. I just restarted therapy with her after a two year stoppage, and we picked up right where we left off. Out of the 7 or 8 therapists I have tried, Kellie is the only one who understands me and that I can relate to. She is a great listener and provides highly helpful insight into the resolution of my issues. Thanks Kellie!
I really enjoyed my sessions with Kellie, and felt like she always gave me the space to talk about the things on my mind. She is kind, open, and friendly. I hope I will be able to have more sessions with her in the future!
I have found Kellie sensitive and responsive.
Kellie has been incredible. Respectful, supportive, offering great insight and resources—can’t recommend her enough!
Very professional and kind. She has helped me immensely.
Kellie is a grounding place in a stressful time in my life right now. Very grateful for her and her calming presence
Kellie is a great listener and very kind
I’ve only had a few sessions with Kellie so far but it has been so helpful to talk with her. Filling out worksheets before our first meeting was helpful to me. It helped to guide our first conversation and took pressure off of figuring out what to say. Kellie’s pace is measured, not rushed. She acknowledges and affirms what I’m going through and how I’m feeling about it, and guides the conversation and asks questions in a way that helps me think through things without shutting down.
Kellie is amazing and has helped me so much this year with some significant stuff!!! I cannot recommend her more highly!!!
Kellie is kind and understanding. Most importantly, she is welcoming to all experiences and thought processes! I never feel judged, which is super important when trying to find a path toward healing. Thank you for everything, Kellie!
Kellie has been the singular best therapist I’ve had in my 15+ years of going. I feel supported, understood, and comfortable with her. Her approach is organic, rooted in her expertise, & I appreciate her comforting approach. 10/10 would recommend.
Kellie is great! She is really easy to talk with and lets you be you! She makes you feel comfortable and supports your own views/ outlook but also offers new perspectives and advice to help.
Kellie has been wonderful to work with. She listens and remembers my concerns. Kellie offers great advice and provides helpful resources such as worksheets.
Kellie is amazing. She’s so patient and so understanding. I never feel rushed to talk about something I’m not ready to talk about but she’s also very encouraging to dig deeper into whatever the issue is.
I’ve only had 1 session so far but I do feel like she listens to my concerns and feelings. I look forward to working with kellie!
Best experience with better help thanks to Kellie!
I am thankful to have found Kellie Foster on BetterHelp. I am comfortable opening up to her and she has supported and helped me navigate through many struggles, in my life and in my head. If you're looking for a caring, non-judgement, competent therapist, I would highly recommend!
She is kind, empathetic, insightful, and an expert at her craft. Anyone would benefit from time with her.
Very warm and welcoming. I've enjoyed every session we have had. Thank you!
Kellie has been absolutely awesome - patient, thoughtful, knowledgeable, and kind, she listens and offers great thought-provoking exercises and paths of thinking. I cannot recommend her enough.
Kellie Foster offers many ways to address postpartum anxiety and even validates the feelings (because PPA is real and hard). She helps work through the hard thoughts and supports growth.
Great listener and she takes the time to understand where I am emotionally in my journey to feel better.
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I started talk therapy, but being connected with Kellie gave me reassurance from the first session that I was taking the right and best step to improve my anxiety and overall mental well-being. Kellie is a great listener and asks thought provoking questions during our sessions. Kellie is also thorough and timely in any responses to chat messages from me in-between our talk sessions. She has greatly helped me in better understanding what drives my anxieties and how to better cope, including improving communicating needs to my spouse when it’s running especially high. Even in the short time her and I have been meeting, I have made huge strides, and I would not have come this far without her support and guidance. She really has been an amazing therapist and I look forward to continuing to work with her.
Kellie has been such a great therapist who helped me to see my situations in a different light and how to better respond to my issues. She truly listened to me and helped me process my different concerns. She gave me tasks and ideas to help me look at things in a different way that I could work on during the week between video sessions. I really appreciate all her help!
Kellie was there for me during a difficult time in my life, family-wise. She was very helpful in helping me put boundaries in place and carve out time for myself. I had a lot of frustrations that I really couldn't share with anyone in my family or friend circle, so I was so glad to have Kellie as a sounding board.
After my first session, it felt like I’ve known Kellie for so much longer! She has a great personality which helped me feel so much more comfortable opening up
Lovely conversations
Kellie helped change a perspective I was programmed to believe for all of my life within a short period of time l. I have gained an abundance of clarity with her and would highly recommend. She is easy going and very responsive. Thank you for everything Kellie!
She really great! Makes me feel like I’m in a safe space to express and share myself and deal with the trauma that has happened in my past. I would recommend this to people I know that is seeking a safe outlet to express themselves.
Kellie was easy to talk to and listened to my concerns with care. She gave solid advice and provided practical steps to help me resolve the issue Of which I am seeking help. After one visit, I already feel better!
After only two sessions with Kellie, I feel as if my decision to use BetterHelp has been validated. She's an awesome conversationalist, a great listener and very easy to talk to.
Though working with Kellie for a short time, she was very helpful and attentive to what you tell her. She knows exactly how to interpret what you want to say even if you don’t directly say it which was great for me because I’ve always had a hard time trying to talk about how i feel. She is very resourceful and will send you many worksheets and things to read about that will open your mind and change your thinking and try new things that will help you feel better. Overall she is very supportive and is always there if you need to talk and always has a good response to what you’re feeling :)
