About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, depression, and related concerns. She works with individuals on issues like ADHD, eating and body-image struggles, addiction, and parenting stress. Her style is conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy feel understandable and useful.
She focuses on changing how people understand their stories. That can shift feelings about painful events without erasing what happened.
Background and approach
She also teaches practical skills for managing strong emotions, such as mindfulness exercises and thought work that can be used day to day. Kathi-Ann draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on each person’s needs. She incorporates techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and narrative therapy to help with emotion regulation and reinterpreting life stories.
She also uses eye movement methods and mindfulness practices when appropriate for trauma-related work. Her approach mixes conversation with skill-building. Sessions often include noticing patterns, trying new coping tools, and practicing brief skills between meetings.
The goal is steady progress toward clearer thinking and fewer moments of overwhelm. She has six years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns and life transitions. People meet her in Utah, and she provides sessions in English using several remote formats.
She encourages those ready to take a step forward to try a short matching process and schedule a first session.
How chosen approaches work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting conversation. It helps people feel heard and helps the therapist follow what matters most to the client. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing impulsive behaviors; those skills translate well to remote sessions through coaching and practice between meetings.Eye movement techniques are sometimes used to address distress tied to traumatic memories by guiding processing of painful events; when appropriate these methods are adapted for video or phone work to help reduce the emotional charge of past experiences. Kathi-Ann will discuss which approaches might fit best and will tailor methods to each person’s needs and goals in collaborative planning.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and guided exercises, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to keep progress consistent and fit therapy into everyday life.
