Kathee Foxan, LCSW

Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people manage mood, anxiety, and stress. She brings 14 years of professional experience in Iowa to sessions and focuses on clear, doable steps people can use between meetings.

Kathee often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change small patterns that get in the way of daily life. She also uses client-centered listening and mindfulness skills to slow down strong emotions and build coping tools. Her approach is straightforward and geared toward real-world change.

She has worked in community mental health settings for many years and has experience providing care in nursing home environments. That background informs how she supports people facing loss of independence, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She is familiar with people dealing with poverty, substance use, trauma, and legal system involvement.

Kathee helps with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, bipolar mood differences, grief, parenting stress, sleep problems, anger, and relationship or intimacy issues. She also addresses less visible struggles such as abandonment fears, body image, dissociation, and codependency.

Sessions are offered in English and provided by a licensed clinical social worker based in Iowa. Her style centers on listening first, then working together to build practical skills that fit each person’s life and goals.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Kathee uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and then practice new, more helpful behaviors. She also draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, reflection, and building a trusting conversation so people feel understood.

These approaches are chosen together. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to focus on thought work, emotion regulation, mindfulness, or a mix of techniques.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video calls work well for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins, homework support, or days when typing feels simpler. These options help people fit care around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping therapy consistent.
