About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, and related concerns. She offers a conversational, down-to-earth approach that aims to make therapy feel manageable and straightforward for someone worried about taking the first step.
Her style centers on listening and helping clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She uses practical skills like mindfulness, meditation, and thought-management to reduce day-to-day distress.
Background and approach
Sessions are aimed at changing how problems are understood and how they affect daily life. Kathi-Ann draws on several therapeutic methods, including narrative techniques, dialectical behavior therapy principles, and EMDR-informed approaches when appropriate. She blends these methods into sessions so clients can learn new coping tools and shift long-standing patterns without erasing their past experiences.
With six years of clinical experience, she has worked with people who have ADHD and those on the autism spectrum, as well as individuals who describe themselves as quirky. Her background includes helping people with issues such as self-esteem, addiction-related struggles, anger, and eating and body-image concerns.
She acknowledges that starting therapy can feel hard and aims to create a collaborative, respectful space. The focus is on practical changes, clearer personal narratives, and skills that make daily life easier to manage.
Approaches and how they translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting the person where they are; online sessions let conversations unfold through video, phone, or text so clients can pick a format that feels natural. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which translate well to short skills coaching during a call or as written exercises between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR-informed work, aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories; parts of this approach can be adapted to remote sessions with careful planning and collaboration.Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then try approaches that fit the client’s needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: video calls when face-to-face interaction helps, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed, live chat for short questions or between-session support, and text messaging for brief reflections or homework. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to practice skills in real time.
