About Eloise
Eloise Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Virginia with 12 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, grief, and self-esteem. Eloise also lists work related to abandonment, adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric issues, blended family concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, hospice and end-of-life counseling, midlife crisis, social anxiety and phobia, and women’s issues.
She uses practical, straightforward conversations to address what feels most urgent. Sessions aim to identify patterns that maintain stress and to develop clearer communication with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to notice thoughts and actions that get in the way of feeling better. Client-Centered Therapy provides space for people to bring what matters most and set the pace.
Eloise draws on a background that includes a Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Human Services Counseling and a Master of Social Work degree. She has classroom experience teaching social work and human services for nearly 20 years, alongside her clinical practice. That blend of classroom and clinical work shapes a practical approach to problems.
In sessions she focuses on concrete steps clients can try between meetings and on improving everyday routines that affect stress and mood. She helps people talk through family conflict, plan for caregiving demands, manage grief, and address social anxiety with specific strategies.

BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead. In practice this means the therapist reflects concerns, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients set the pace for change. This approach is useful when people need a respectful space to talk through family or relationship problems.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments between meetings. CBT can be helpful for managing anxiety, stress, social worry, and low mood.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to clarify goals, try out methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The choice of tools may shift as the work progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking, since specific online formats are not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist through the site’s scheduling steps to confirm how sessions will be conducted and which format best fits your day-to-day needs.
