About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a core approach. She draws on 14 years of practice in Iowa and focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and trouble sleeping. Her work also addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, and difficulties with parenting and caregiving.
She has spent many years in community mental health settings. Much of that work involved people navigating poverty, substance use, legal involvement, and loss of independence. For six years she has also provided services to residents in nursing home settings, and she has experience with a wide age range from young children to older adults.
In sessions she uses practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change patterns of thinking and behavior. She also integrates client-centered approaches to keep the conversation focused on each person’s values and goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices are part of her toolbox when emotion regulation or stress tolerance are needed.
Kathee also works with trauma using trauma-focused methods and EMDR when appropriate. She helps people manage grief, anger, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and other complex concerns by combining strategies that fit each situation. She aims to help people identify small changes that improve daily life.
Her practice language is English and she works within Iowa. To begin, readers should confirm current session options before booking so they know how Kathee is offering appointments at this time.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building what matters most to the person. In practice this means sessions start with the client’s goals and progress at their pace, helping people feel heard and understood.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing small, concrete changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and managing mood or attention challenges.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. That can include short skills practice and learning grounding or breathing techniques to reduce overwhelm.
Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That plan can change as progress happens and new concerns come up.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - it may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or eliminate the need to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, client-centered work, and DBT skills training to an online setting to keep sessions focused and practical.
