About Kathee Foxan

Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Cognitive Behavioral Therapist with fourteen years of professional experience in Iowa. She has spent much of her career in community mental health settings, bringing over a decade of hands-on practice to individuals facing mood and anxiety concerns as well as anger-related and personality disorder symptoms. Her work also includes six years providing therapy to residents in nursing home environments, giving her experience across a wide range of ages and life stages.

Kathee has counseled clients as young as three and as old as ninety-three, and she frequently supports people dealing with the effects of poverty, substance use and addiction, histories of trauma, legal involvement, and the loss of independence. That background has shaped a practice attuned to clients facing systemic and situational oppression, as well as those navigating complex grief, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and chronic illness. She draws on cognitive behavioral methods alongside client-centered principles to help people build coping skills and work toward meaningful change.

LCSW stands for Licensed Clinical Social Worker, a credential that reflects advanced clinical training in social work and psychotherapy. Kathee combines that training with years of practical experience to support clients across the lifespan and a broad spectrum of presenting problems.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Kathee Foxan uses cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered therapy, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to guide her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a collaborative, empathetic relationship in which the client’s goals and experiences shape the pace and focus of treatment, making it useful for building self-esteem and working through relationship or life transition issues. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions or difficulty managing reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Kathee works collaboratively with clients to select or adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Sessions are designed to evolve as progress and challenges arise.

Online therapy with Kathee is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access consistent support from licensed professionals without geographic constraints and to integrate therapy into everyday life.
