About Kathee
Kathee Foxan uses a practical, skill-based approach to help people manage mood and stress. She is a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, and brings 14 years of experience as a therapist in Iowa. Her style is direct and hands-on, focused on real problems people bring each day.
She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to help clients change unhelpful thoughts and routines. Mindfulness techniques are used to improve focus and reduce reactivity.
Background and approach
Dialectical skills support emotion regulation and problem solving. Kathee also uses trauma-focused tools when addressing painful memories. Kathee has worked in community mental health for over a decade and has provided therapy in nursing home settings.
That mix of settings shaped a practical approach that values short-term tools and long-term coping skills. Sessions often include concrete homework and step-by-step plans to try between meetings. She helps with a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, sleep problems, self-esteem, anger, and parenting stress.
The practice also addresses trauma, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, relationship and intimacy issues, and career transitions. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Languages provided are English.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters most to the person. In online sessions this means the therapist follows the client's lead and adjusts pace and goals to fit each person's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific skills to change thinking patterns and routines that keep problems going. Online CBT often uses short practice exercises and clear homework between sessions to track progress and build new habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Plans are adjusted over time when needed so the approach matches real progress and changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, written coaching, and flexible support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or mobility needs while using the chosen therapeutic tools.
