About Eloise
Eloise Foster is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who practices in Virginia. She brings 12 years of clinical experience and a background in social work education to her therapy. Eloise focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, family challenges, and self-esteem concerns.
She uses straightforward, conversational methods in sessions. Eloise listens first to understand what matters most to each person. Then she works with clients to set small, practical goals and to build skills that can be used between sessions.
Background and approach
Client-Centered Therapy guides much of her work. That means the conversation centers on the person's own priorities and experiences, and therapy moves at a pace that feels right for them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used when helpful to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice new behaviors.
Eloise has additional experience supporting issues tied to adoption and foster care, abandonment, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and end-of-life or hospice-related grieving. She also addresses social anxiety, guilt and shame, communication problems, and women's issues.
In sessions she aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can talk through difficult topics and try practical steps. Her style is warm, clear, and focused on what will make daily life a bit easier. If someone is ready to get started, Eloise helps them set realistic next steps.

Online support
How Eloise Uses Client-Centered and CBT Online
Client-Centered Therapy is about making the session feel focused on the person's own concerns and pace. It involves open listening and reflecting so clients can make choices that fit their lives. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and teaches practical exercises to test and change unhelpful habits. CBT is often useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that feel stuck.Choosing an approach is a collaborative step. The therapist will talk about goals, try methods that fit the client's preferences, and adjust as needed. Together they decide which mix of conversation and skill practice feels most useful for the work at hand.
Online sessions offer flexibility for busy schedules and different needs. Video calls let people use visual cues and dive deeper, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text-based messaging can support short check-ins, quick coping strategies, or ongoing tracking between longer sessions. These options help make therapy more usable for everyday life and for people juggling work, caregiving, or medical appointments.
