Kathee Foxan

Kathee Foxan is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses practical, goal-focused therapy to help people manage anger, anxiety, mood challenges, and life changes. She draws on 14 years of experience in Iowa and aims to make therapy direct and understandable for busy parents and caregivers.

She typically uses clear, evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people spot patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions focus on what is happening now, what keeps problems going, and concrete steps a person can try between meetings. She helps people work through stress, sleep problems, grief, relationship strain, and challenges tied to addiction or trauma.

Kathee has long experience in community mental health settings and with nursing home residents. That work involved people across the age span, from young children to older adults, and often those facing financial hardship, substance use, legal involvement, or loss of independence. Her background gives her practical experience with complex life situations and multiple health concerns.

Her style is straightforward and compassionate. She encourages small, realistic changes that fit daily life. Parents who worry about anger or behavior concerns will find a therapist who listens, explains options plainly, and helps set clear goals.

To begin, she asks clients to describe the current problem and what they hope will change. From there she and the client pick strategies that match those goals and track progress over time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk through anger, stress, or relationship worries. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and anger management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skill building in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and can be useful for strong mood swings and intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their concerns, goals, and preferences. That choice can be revisited as progress is tracked and needs change.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what is offered for this therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer options for people who prefer not to use video. Licensed professionals can adapt interactive CBT worksheets, DBT coaching and mindfulness exercises to remote sessions to support skill practice between meetings.
