About Kathee

Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) who draws on 14 years of practice to provide focused, practical therapy informed by cognitive behavioral principles. She describes a strengths-based, client-centered stance while addressing mood and anxiety concerns, anger-related difficulties, addiction, trauma, and other complex presentations.

Background and approach

Her experience includes work in community mental health and long-term care settings, where she supported people across the lifespan from young children to older adults. Her background includes regular counseling with clients facing poverty, substance use, legal involvement, histories of trauma, and loss of independence, which has shaped a pragmatic, trauma-aware approach.

Kathee integrates evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness to help people manage symptoms, improve coping, and build skills for day-to-day functioning. She holds LCSW credentials in North Dakota and Illinois as listed and practices from Iowa, offering a blend of clinical experience and practical problem-solving for common and complex life challenges.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on understanding each person's unique experience and priorities, offering empathy and collaboration to guide goals and treatment choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and is useful for managing intense emotions and improving relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts techniques over time to find what is most helpful. This collaborative exploration helps tailor interventions for stress, trauma, addictions, mood concerns, and everyday coping needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing work to continue from home or other convenient locations. These formats make scheduling easier for people with busy lives or mobility limitations and support a range of contact styles from real-time conversations to ongoing text-based check-ins, while maintaining the same clinical approaches used in face-to-face care.
