Getting to know KarrolJo Foster
Seeking therapy takes courage, and finding the right therapist matters. My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and never judged.
I specialize in treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, panic, relationship OCD (ROCD), health anxiety, perfectionism, and intrusive thoughts. My primary treatment approach is Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), the gold standard for OCD treatment, combined with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and compassion-focused strategies that help you build resilience rather than simply reduce symptoms.
I believe that meaningful change happens when evidence-based treatment is paired with genuine compassion. ERP can feel intimidating, but it doesn't have to. We'll move at a pace that challenges you while ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. My role is never to force you into difficult experiences but to help you develop the confidence to face them with courage.
Clients often tell me they appreciate that I explain how anxiety and OCD work in ways that make sense. Understanding what your brain is doing reduces shame and helps you respond differently instead of remaining trapped in cycles of fear, avoidance, or compulsions.
As a licensed mental health counselor with a PhD in Counselor Education, I bring years of experience while fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and hope. Together, we'll work toward lasting freedom from anxiety so you can live a fuller, more meaningful life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
