About Kellee

Kellee Foote is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) with 12 years of practice experience based in Iowa. She works with adults on common struggles such as depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship difficulties. She also focuses on concerns linked to adoption and foster care, first responder issues, and young adult issues.

Kellee uses straightforward conversation and practical steps in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and helps identify small changes that reduce daily pressure. Sessions often include looking at thoughts, testing new habits, and problem-solving around communication and family concerns.

Her approach combines client-centered work with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused methods. That means the work can include reflecting on personal values, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and setting clear short-term goals. The methods are used to address mood disorders, isolation, seasonal affective disorder, and trouble connecting with others.

Kellee has experience supporting people through major life changes and grief. She helps clients break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. She also supports people coping with avoidant personality traits and recurring relationship conflicts.

People meet her for help with practical problems like starting a first job, navigating family conflict, or managing symptoms of depression and anxiety. She asks questions, offers tools you can try between sessions, and checks in on what does and doesn’t work.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters most to the person. Online sessions using this approach tend to spend time clarifying priorities and personal values so goals feel relevant and manageable. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot thought patterns and try new behaviors. In an online setting CBT often includes simple exercises between sessions and step-by-step plans for changing routines and reactions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with the client to decide which methods fit best based on goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. That means checking in and adjusting techniques as needed rather than committing to one method up front.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and other commitments because it reduces travel and allows more flexible scheduling. It also makes it possible to use short check-ins, screen-shared worksheets, or written follow-ups when those options suit the person better.
