About Kellee

Kellee Foote is a licensed independent social worker with 12 years of practice experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family concerns. Kellee helps people handle everyday pressure and major life changes with calm and practical guidance.

Background and approach

Her approach is grounded in listening first, then helping clients choose realistic steps forward. Kellee uses clear, conversational methods in sessions. She draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to spot patterns that keep problems going.

She also uses client-centered work to follow the person’s pace and solution-focused ideas to set short-term goals. Sessions are collaborative. Kellee will help a parent or adult identify what matters most, test small changes, and adjust plans that aren’t working.

She emphasizes practical skills you can use between meetings. Her practice serves people in Iowa and is offered in English. Kellee explains what to expect at the first meeting and helps clients map a path forward that fits their life and responsibilities.

How therapy approaches fit into online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps when someone needs a calm, accepting space to talk through family stress or grief and for parents who want to be heard before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It teaches small skills and experiments that can reduce anxiety, lift mood, and improve communication with family members.

Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on what clients want to accomplish next. It is goal-oriented and useful when someone wants quick, practical changes for parenting, relationships, or daily stress management.

Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped in the past. Together they will try techniques and adjust the plan until it fits the client’s life.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare, and busy schedules while keeping the focus on progress and practical tools.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
