Therapeutic approaches and online care with Kathee Foxan

Kathee draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and learn practical skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress. CBT focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors to improve day-to-day functioning and coping.

She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. DBT can be useful for people facing intense emotions, relationship challenges, or difficulty managing impulsive reactions.

Kathee uses Client-Centered Therapy principles to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person s goals, values, and lived experience guide the work. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches fit best, and the plan is adjusted over time based on needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Kathee offers flexibility through video sessions, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or to continue work from home. These options support ongoing access to licensed professionals and allow therapy to proceed in ways that match each person s routine and comfort.
