About Verna
Verna Nichols Foust is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Oklahoma with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and major life changes. She also addresses guilt and shame among other concerns.
She meets people where they are and starts by listening to the parts of life that feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Conversations cover how past events shape current feelings and what practical changes might help day to day.
Verna helps with relationship fallout like divorce, infidelity, and communication problems. She supports people managing caregiver stress, chronic pain or illness, and workplace pressures. First responder issues and personality-related concerns are also part of her practice.
For people weighed down by guilt, shame, or forgiveness questions she uses straightforward discussion and coping skills to sort through those feelings. She also works with isolation, jealousy, control issues, and emptiness to help clients notice patterns and try different responses.
Her style emphasizes respect for each person's beliefs and values, including spiritual concerns. She encourages small, achievable steps and open talk about setbacks. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work can fit
Verna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding current feelings and building practical skills. One approach she relies on helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centers on processing traumatic or painful memories in manageable steps so those memories have less hold on daily life.Choosing the right methods happens together. She will work with each person to decide which techniques match their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and may shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the exact online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Some people find phone sessions require less bandwidth, while video lets you see facial cues during conversation. Verna aims to help clients pick a way of meeting that fits their schedule and day-to-day life.
