About Eloise

Eloise Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her practice.

Background and approach

She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, and self-esteem concerns, drawing on both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered approaches to guide sessions. Eloise creates a respectful, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore difficult emotions and practical challenges at their own pace.

Her work also attends to issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, midlife transitions, social anxiety and phobia, and women's issues.

Eloise combines a focus on present-day coping strategies with attention to personal values and relationships, aiming to help clients identify small, manageable changes that foster greater emotional balance.

Sessions are offered in a variety of online formats to accommodate different needs and schedules, and Eloise collaborates with each person to determine which methods and tools best match their goals.

Integrating CBT and Client-Centered Care Online

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy useful for identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding to stressful situations; in plain terms CBT helps people recognize patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood and practice tangible skills to shift those patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration, giving space for clients to set the pace and focus on what feels most important in their lives.

Eloise approaches the selection of techniques as a collaborative process. She works with each person to determine whether skill-based work, reflective exploration, or a mix of both best aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress and comfort evolve.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to choose formats that fit their schedules and communication styles while maintaining continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
