About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience offering straightforward, practical therapy. She focuses on helping people manage anxiety, depression, stress, addiction concerns, and trauma-related struggles. Kathee draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR to help clients move past painful memories and reduce distress.
She has spent much of her career in community mental health and has also worked in nursing home settings.
Background and approach
This variety of roles means she is used to supporting people at different life stages and with different day-to-day challenges. Sessions tend to be down-to-earth and goal-oriented. Kathee sees people who face complicated life situations, such as poverty, substance use, trauma histories, legal involvement, and loss of independence.
She also helps with relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, sleep problems, and coping with life changes. Her approach is practical and rooted in what a person needs right now. In therapy she combines client-centered care with skills-based work from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches.
She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people manage strong feelings and EMDR when trauma processing is appropriate. The work is collaborative and paced to the person's needs. People who want tools for stress reduction, clearer thinking around mood and behavior, and support after trauma will find a straightforward, experienced clinician.
Kathee practices in Iowa and conducts sessions in English. She brings a steady presence and a focus on concrete steps people can take between sessions.

Online support
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. It means the therapist listens carefully and works from what the client says matters most, helping people set goals and make choices that fit their life. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation; it is often used when past events continue to cause strong emotional reactions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques if needed, and adjust the plan based on how the person responds. That collaborative process helps shape whether skills work, trauma processing, or a mix of approaches is best.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and guided exercises, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief updates or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to maintain continuity when in-person visits are difficult.
