Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain distress and teaching concrete strategies to shift those patterns - beneficial for anxiety, depression, and motivation challenges.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and taking committed action even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings, supporting clients facing life transitions and questions of purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Foster works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find what proves most helpful. This collaborative stance helps clients feel engaged and supported in choosing strategies that fit their life.
