Kathee Foxan is an LCSW who uses a client-centered approach along with cognitive behavioral tools to help people facing mood and anxiety concerns. She presents therapy in straightforward terms and focuses on practical steps people can use each day to feel steadier and more capable.
Kathee has worked as a professional therapist in Iowa for 14 years. Much of that time was at a community mental health center where she supported people with mood, anxiety, anger-related, and personality disorder symptoms. She has also provided therapy in nursing home settings over the last six years.
Her experience includes helping people across a wide age range, from children to older adults. She has supported people dealing with trauma, substance use challenges, legal difficulties, poverty, and loss of independence. Kathee aims to meet each person where they are and to reduce overwhelming problems into manageable steps.
In sessions she blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness skills. That mix lets clients talk about what matters while practicing new coping habits between meetings. She also draws on trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of daily life.
People who come for help often want better sleep, stronger self-esteem, healthier relationships, or tools for handling anger and stress. Kathee works with those concerns with clear, practical suggestions and steady support.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful relationship, focusing on each person's goals and pace. It helps when someone needs a therapist who follows their lead and responds to what matters most to them.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep troubles, and stress by offering step-by-step strategies people can practice between sessions.
Mindfulness therapy adds simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These techniques pair well with CBT for managing worry and emotion regulation.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about symptoms, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Adjustments are made over time so the plan stays focused and useful for daily life.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can guide practical skill-building, homework tasks, and mindfulness exercises across sessions so progress continues between meetings.
