About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who uses client-centered and cognitive behavioral methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She brings 14 years of front-line experience in Iowa and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Many clients have been dealing with trauma, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, sleep problems, or major life changes.
Kathee listens and helps people set small goals to improve day-to-day functioning.
Background and approach
Her background includes long-term work in community mental health settings and several years providing therapy in nursing home environments. That mix has shaped a flexible style that adapts to different ages and life stages. She has supported people coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and the loss of independence.
Kathee uses straightforward techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build better routines. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity. For people affected by trauma, she offers trauma-focused approaches including EMDR when appropriate.
Sessions are focused and goal-oriented, with attention to real-world problems like parenting strain, work stress, and sleep disruption. She aims to give tools people can try between sessions and to track progress in simple ways. Kathee emphasizes collaboration and respects each person’s pace when addressing heavy topics.
Her work has included supporting people facing substance use, legal involvement, and poverty-related stress. She works in English and practices throughout Iowa as an LCSW.

Online support
How her methods translate to online therapy
Kathee commonly integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people identify their priorities so sessions feel personally relevant. Cognitive behavioral work helps spot unhelpful thoughts and habits, then tests small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, or manage mood.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills when needed to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are taught in clear steps so people can practice them between sessions and notice what helps. Kathee treats selecting the right approach as a joint decision and will work with clients to find what fits their needs and goals.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and skill teaching when visual cues help. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it simple to maintain momentum between meetings and fit support into busy days.
