About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses client-centered and cognitive approaches to help people manage strong feelings. She draws on 14 years of practice in Iowa and focuses on real problems like anxiety, anger, addiction, grief, and stress. Her style is practical and straightforward.
She talks with people about what is going on now and what they want to change. Her work emphasizes clear skills and steady support.
Background and approach
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot the thoughts that feed upsetting emotions. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense feelings and crisis moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is part of her toolkit when trauma memories are involved.
Kathee has long experience in community mental health. She has also provided therapy in nursing home settings, so she is familiar with aging and care-related challenges. Over the years she has helped people facing poverty, substance use, legal problems, and loss of independence.
Clients describe practical steps, skill practice, and a focus on goals in sessions. She helps parents with stress and sleeping problems, supports people coping with life changes, and works with those managing mood conditions such as bipolar disorder. Anger regulation is a regular focus in her practice.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. All sessions are in English and follow approaches that match what each person needs. To begin, a short questionnaire and scheduling arrange the first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online options
Kathee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts that drive anxiety, anger, or depression. CBT focuses on practical exercises and homework to shift patterns that cause distress. She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy for strong emotions, teaching skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness that help when feelings feel overwhelming.Mindfulness practice is another element she brings into sessions to help people notice thoughts and sensations without immediate reaction. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as progress unfolds. Finding the right mix is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversations and skill demonstrations. Phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option or fit during a work break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and changing life demands.
