Shalice Foster

Shalice Foster is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with life changes and people exploring life purpose and self-love. Shalice brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on the needs many women face during life transitions.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions center on understanding what matters to the client right now. Conversations aim to identify practical steps, steady sources of strength, and ways to reduce overwhelm. The work is collaborative and paced to match each person’s readiness.

Shalice uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the process. She helps clients process difficult memories, learn tools to manage anxiety, and rebuild a clearer sense of self. Progress looks different for everyone, and she works toward sustainable changes rather than quick fixes.

In practice she emphasizes self-compassion and purposeful action. Clients often focus on building routines, setting boundaries, and clarifying values. The goal is to help people move forward with more confidence and a stronger sense of meaning.

Shalice sees clients in Connecticut and conducts sessions in English. She holds a CT LCSW license and brings over a decade of direct clinical work to each appointment.

How evidence-based methods translate to online therapy

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear tools and steps you can use between sessions. For example, trauma-informed approaches help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional hold over everyday life. These approaches guide safe pacing and attention to triggers while building coping skills.

Another common approach emphasizes managing anxiety through practical strategies like grounding, breathing work, and gradual exposure to feared situations. These techniques aim to reduce avoidance and increase confidence in handling stressors day to day.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is reviewed and adjusted over time so the plan remains useful and realistic.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that meeting remotely helps them maintain consistency while they try new skills in real life.
