About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Iowa with 14 years of experience. She describes herself as a cognitive behavioral therapist who helps people manage mood, anxiety, anger-related concerns, and personality disorder symptoms.
She previously worked for thirteen years in a community mental health center. She has also provided therapy in nursing home settings for six years. That mix of settings shaped how she talks with people across different life stages.
Kathee has seen clients as young as three and as old as ninety-three. She often works with people facing poverty, substance use or addiction, legal involvement, and the loss of independence. She also supports people with histories of trauma and people of color who face extra barriers.
Her approach centers on clear, practical work. She uses cognitive behavioral tools to look at patterns of thinking and behavior. She also draws from mindfulness, dialectical behavior therapy, and trauma-focused methods when they fit the problem.
In sessions she focuses on goals that are doable between appointments. That can mean learning skills to reduce anger spikes, changing behaviors at work, improving sleep routines, or building coping strategies for grief and stress. She aims to help people make small changes that add up over time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Kathee commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change behavior patterns. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, and it often helps with anger, anxiety, sleep problems, and mood changes.She also uses client-centered ideas to keep sessions focused on each person's priorities, and she applies dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when people need concrete skills to manage strong feelings.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She collaborates with clients to pick methods that fit their goals, needs, and how they like to work. That means reviewing what helps, adjusting plans, and practicing skills between sessions.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments during breaks or between obligations. They can also make it simpler to do short check-ins, practice grounding or breathing exercises together, and follow step-by-step CBT homework without needing a clinic visit.
