About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Iowa with 14 years of experience. She describes herself as a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist and works with people who bring concerns about mood, anxiety, anger, substance use, and personality disorder symptoms.
She has worked in community mental health for thirteen years and with nursing home residents for six years. That range means she has met people at many life stages, from children to people in their nineties. She has spent substantial time supporting people facing poverty, legal involvement, loss of independence, and addiction.
In sessions she uses straightforward, problem-focused methods. That includes cognitive behavioral tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also draws on client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities.
Her practice includes techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to help with emotion regulation and stress management. She also uses EMDR-informed work for people who bring trauma-related memories and symptoms.
Kathee works with concerns often rooted in family history and relational patterns. She helps people notice how family of origin roles and expectations still shape current relationships and choices. Practical coping strategies and skill building are common parts of the work.
To begin, she asks people to describe current struggles and goals. From there she and the person decide together which methods to use and how to pace the work.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on active listening and reflecting what the person says. It helps clarify priorities and build trust so someone can set concrete goals and choose next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Those skills can help with anger, relationship strains, and impulsive behaviors. Presenting a few approaches early lets the therapist and client decide which methods match the person’s needs and preferences.
This collaborative process means the therapist will check in about which techniques feel helpful and adjust over time. Finding the right approach is part of the work rather than a fixed plan from the start.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time for someone with limited mobility. Licensed professionals can use a mix of methods virtually, adapting exercises and skills practice to the screen or phone to support progress.
