About Kathee

Kathee Foxan uses practical, evidence-based approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and life changes. She practices as a licensed clinical social worker and draws on 14 years of experience to guide short- and longer-term work. Her manner is straightforward and focused on clear skills and daily strategies.

Kathee has spent much of her career in community mental health. She has also provided care in nursing home settings for several years.

Background and approach

That mix means she is familiar with challenges that show up across different stages of life. She works with people dealing with addiction, trauma, grief, and problems with sleep and self-worth. Her typical sessions emphasize practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and other approaches.

She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try small experiments, and build new habits. Mindfulness skills and emotion-regulation strategies are used when they match a person’s needs. Kathee has experience supporting clients with complex situations, including those affected by poverty, legal problems, and histories of trauma.

She has worked with people from early childhood through older adulthood, including residents in long-term care settings. She holds a licensed clinical social worker credential - ND LCSW 6262 and IL LCSW 149.017527 - and offers services from Iowa. Sessions are conducted in English and are delivered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities. It involves open conversation, reflective listening, and working at the client’s pace to make changes that feel right. This approach helps when someone needs support sorting priorities and deciding what matters most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical techniques to notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. It often uses short exercises, homework, and step-by-step plans to reduce anxiety, depression, or stress. Those tasks fit well into remote sessions and between-session practice.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving relationships. It emphasizes mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness tools that people can use in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current problems, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they adjust methods as progress is made or needs shift.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for busy families and caregivers. It lets people schedule work around school, appointments, and caregiving responsibilities. Remote formats also make it easier to practice skills at home and check in between sessions when needed.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
