About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral approaches to help people manage mood, anxiety, and stress. She draws on 14 years of practice in Iowa to offer steady, practical support for day-to-day problems and big life transitions.
Kathee spends much of her time helping people cope with trauma, addiction, grief, and changes in functioning. She listens without judgment and focuses on clear, doable steps that build skills for handling strong emotions and difficult situations. This includes work on sleep, relationships, self-esteem, and parenting concerns.
Her background includes long-term work in a community mental health center and regular therapy with residents in nursing home settings over the last six years. That range means she is used to helping people at different life stages and with varied health or mobility needs.
Kathee has supported people facing oppression, poverty, legal involvement, substance use, and loss of independence. She also has experience helping people living with bipolar mood patterns, ADHD, chronic pain or illness, and dissociation. Coping with natural or human-caused disaster is one area she lists among many practical concerns.
Her approach blends cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical behavior strategies, and trauma-focused tools such as EMDR when appropriate. She works in straightforward language and focuses on what helps most in daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.
How Kathee’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, validation, and working at the client’s pace. It helps people feel heard and guides decisions about goals and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method used to process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact when the therapist and client agree it fits the treatment plan.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean starting with client-centered conversations and adding CBT or trauma-focused techniques as needed.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow for check-ins that work around work or caregiving schedules. It also lets clients practice skills in the settings where they live and then discuss what did and didn’t help with their therapist.
