More about Lucinda
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I received my Bachelor of Science and a Masters Degree in Counseling from Wichita State University in Kansas. I am a national certified counselor as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have worked in a wide variety of settings, from a day program for the severe and chronic mentally ill, academic advisor, and welfare officer
I relocated to the Phoenix area and began work as an outreach counselor and Special Education Counselor serving the Reservation and the surrounding towns in Pinal County. In this capacity I worked with children, parents, and schools on a variety of issues; from relationship/communication, parenting, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and anger management. I have also dealt with addiction and marriage problems. Each job gave me a wealth of experiences.
I have completed a wide array of trainings such as Levels I and II in Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing (EMDR); training addressing Gambling Addiction, Rational Emotive Therapy, Reality, Sand Tray therapy, several different Play Therapy modalities, and have a credential in Distance Counseling.
I am married and have three wonderful boys, an extended family that I keep close even though all are very far away.
I have come to realize that success doesn’t come by the work of one, but the support of many to help achieve our desires and to deal with the struggles of everyday living. My goal is to help you when you need it most, to teach you how to grapple with life's little ordinary problems, to make life worth living. Too many people in the world are hurting on the inside and trying to "go it alone" and are either afraid or don’t know how to ask for help. I can offer an un-biased ear, a sounding board and support to help you reach your goals or get past a roadblock in life. Don’t be afraid to take that first step.
I have over 19 years of experience with a wide variety of issues, including relationship, Parenting, Anxiety, Gambling, Substance Abuse and Depression.
If you feel I may be a good match for your therapy needs, I am available.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Have enjoyed our talks! Nice to talk with someone not judgmental.

I have just started working with Lucinda Foster and so far, I have had an excellent experience. She responds promptly and is knowledgeable in her responses and practice. When I met with Lucinda Foster, she was on time and was very attentive to my needs. She was very personable and I enjoyed speaking with her. She made me feel comfortable. Additionally, she had taken the time to read my daily journal posts before meeting, and remembered what I had written about. She also took the time to make sure she understands my needs and what my expectations for counseling are. Highly recommend.
