About Kathee

Kathee Foxan is an LCSW - licensed clinical social worker practicing in Iowa with 14 years of clinical experience. She focuses on mood and anxiety concerns, addiction, anger, personality disorder symptoms, and family and parenting issues. Kathee also works with grief, trauma, sleep problems, ADHD, and the stress of caregiving and life changes.

She has spent much of her career in community mental health. For the last 13 years she worked in a community mental health center. She has also provided therapy to nursing home residents for six years. That mix of settings shapes a practical approach to common life stresses.

Kathee is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and also uses Client-Centered methods, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills, EMDR, and mindfulness practices. In sessions she focuses on clear strategies people can use between meetings. She breaks down problems into manageable steps and helps people try small changes to test what works.

She has worked with people across the lifespan, from children to older adults, and with many who face oppression, poverty, legal involvement, or loss of independence. That background informs how she talks about resources, systems, and practical barriers to change.

Clients can expect straightforward conversation about what is causing stress now and what might help next. The emphasis is on usable tools for daily life, improving relationships, and managing strong emotions over time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. The therapist helps people name their concerns and supports their own choices about what to work on. It is useful when someone wants a respectful, collaborative way to sort out family or parenting concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviors. Sessions tend to include clear exercises and homework to try between meetings. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, anger, and ADHD-related coping strategies.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds practical emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills. These are short, teachable strategies for handling intense feelings and improving communication in close relationships.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process aims to match skills and strategies to the client's needs and preferences.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since formats are not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time so therapy can fit around work, school, or caregiving duties.
