About Kathee
Kathee Foxan is an LCSW who draws on 14 years of practical counseling experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood concerns, addiction struggles, trauma, grief, and ADHD. Her style is direct and supportive, and she aims to make therapy understandable and doable for busy families.
She uses straightforward approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful thoughts and build new habits. She also works with trauma-focused methods and DBT skills when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Background and approach
Sessions are shaped around what each person needs to feel steadier day to day. Her background includes long-term work in community mental health and several years providing care in nursing home settings. That mix gives her experience with many life stages and with people facing economic hardship, substance concerns, legal involvement, and loss of independence.
She has worked with clients from early childhood into the nineties. In sessions she listens for what feels most urgent and then helps set small, practical goals. She teaches skills for sleep, parenting strain, anger, and relationship stress.
She also offers strategies for managing attention differences and the life challenges they bring. Kathee prefers clear planning and measurable steps. She helps people break big problems into smaller tasks and practices new skills between meetings.
The aim is steady progress that fits the realities of daily life.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Kathee frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep difficulties, and patterns that keep problems going. She also employs Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, listening-based space where goals come from the client rather than being imposed by the therapist. For people with intense emotional swings or difficulty managing strong feelings, she brings in Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try practical steps, track how those steps go, and adjust plans based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins, skills practice, and ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around school, work, and family routines.
