About Eloise
LCSW licensed in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience, Eloise Foster focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, and self-esteem. She practices Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Eloise works with people navigating abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, and communication problems.
She uses plain, direct conversation to identify what feels unmanageable. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. CBT techniques are used to notice and change patterns of thinking that worsen anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to state what matters to them and guide the work.
Eloise draws on a background in social work and nearly two decades of teaching in social work and human services. Her LCSW credential is from Virginia. That experience informs how she explains options and sets realistic steps between sessions.
In early meetings she helps people name a few small priorities. From there she suggests short exercises and communication strategies to try between sessions. She also addresses complicated family topics such as divorce, blended family dynamics, adoption and foster care history, and end-of-life caregiving concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and serve people located in Virginia. The subscription-based session model can be canceled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment using the See online therapy options button.

How her therapeutic approaches guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy is about following the client's lead. The therapist listens for what matters most and adapts conversation and pacing to those priorities. This approach helps when people need to explore relationships, family roles, or what they value.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems going. Sessions often include short, practical exercises and steps to try between meetings. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and social fears.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to choose strategies that fit their goals and preferences, and will adjust those strategies as needed. Decisions about techniques and pacing are made together during early sessions.
