About Kean
Kean Dey Foy is a New York Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 23 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, attention challenges, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues tied to eating, sleeping, parenting, and career changes.
She has worked with individuals and led focused groups. Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions center on listening and helping people name what feels hardest to carry, including guilt and shame linked to family, identity, faith, or past choices.
Kean uses a mix of conversational and evidence-based methods. She draws on client-centered techniques to follow each person's lead. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and routines.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness practices are also part of her work. These approaches support stronger emotional awareness and help people regulate intense feelings in the moment. Existential ideas come into play when clients are weighing life purpose, meaning, or big changes.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in New York, counseling people across a range of concerns from first responder stress to adoption and attachment issues. Kean helps people work through grief, forgiveness questions, and the burden of guilt and shame in practical, conversational ways.
Approaches used in online work and how they help
Kean blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. Client-centered work means conversations focus on what matters most to the person and moves at their pace. CBT offers simple, practical steps to notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts and habits that keep guilt and anxiety active. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name painful feelings and then practice new ways of responding in relationships and alone.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the process. She will work together with each person to choose which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences rather than assuming one path from the start. That collaboration includes checking how techniques feel and adjusting as progress is made.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and choose shorter check-ins when energy or bandwidth is limited. Kean’s approaches translate well to remote work because they rely on conversation, behavioral experiments, and guided emotional noticing that can be done without special equipment.
