About Kathryne
Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah who helps people manage anxiety, stress, grief, depression, and problems related to addiction and trauma. She speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps people can use day to day. Her approach aims to make coping feel more doable, not more complicated.
She uses a mix of strategies to help people handle strong emotions and painful memories. Sessions often include learning new ways to respond to distress, practicing skills for emotional regulation, and thinking through patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
She works at a steady pace and tailors interventions to each person's needs. Kathryne's background includes three years of clinical experience supporting people through substance use concerns, mood disorders, and post-traumatic stress. She combines evidence-informed methods to address both immediate symptoms and longer-term recovery goals.
Her style is direct, respectful, and collaborative. People who come for help can expect concrete tools for coping with panic, intrusive memories, low mood, and cravings. She also addresses related issues such as shame, codependency, problems with attachment, and struggles with life purpose.
Sessions focus on skills practice, grounding, and small behavior changes that add up over time. Kathryne offers care to adults based in Utah. Conversations are in English and are available across several online formats.
She encourages starting with a short intake to match on goals and choose a straightforward plan for moving forward.
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and finding direction when life feels uncertain.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management because it emphasizes skill practice and measurable progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills for regulating intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness. These tools can be useful for managing strong impulses, relationship strain, and overwhelming moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences and can adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into a busy life. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers quick check-ins, and text messaging supports brief reflections or ongoing skill practice between sessions.
