About Kathee

Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who centers therapy on practical skills and clear goals. She draws on 14 years of experience to help people manage anxiety, depression, parenting strain, and challenges tied to trauma or addiction. Her language is direct and plain so parents can read quickly and know what to expect.

Kathee uses approaches that focus on current problems and building coping tools. She often combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness and client-centered work.

Background and approach

That means sessions include problem-solving, noticing patterns of thought, and practicing new ways to respond when stress or anger shows up. Much of her work has been in community mental health and long-term care settings. That background shaped her practical style.

She is familiar with caregiving stress, chronic illness, grief, and managing mood or behavior changes across the lifespan. Sessions often cover parenting concerns, sleep and stress, relationship strain, and substance use or compulsive behaviors. She also supports people navigating major life changes, compassion fatigue, and attention-related struggles.

Conversations aim to produce concrete steps to try between meetings. Kathee offers many session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. She practices in Iowa and conducts therapy in English.

People who want to begin can use the Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first visit.

How Kathee’s Approaches Work Online

Kathee commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness alongside client-centered work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve sleep and stress management. Client-centered therapy centers on the person’s experience and priorities, helping shape goals and steady progress through listening and compassionate feedback.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Kathee will talk with each person about their goals, daily routines, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide whether to emphasize CBT skills, DBT strategies, EMDR for trauma processing, or a blend that fits the situation and comfort level.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents and people with tight schedules. Video calls let therapists see nonverbal cues and run guided exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins, skill reminders, or shorter coaching-style exchanges between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into real life and to keep momentum between meetings.
