About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and codependency concerns. She also helps those facing parenting strain, eating and body image issues, ADHD, addictions, and life changes. Her way of working is conversational and grounded in everyday skills. She explains problems in simple terms and shows practical steps to feel better.
Kathi-Ann draws on several approaches to fit each person’s needs. She uses Client-Centered methods that keep the conversation focused on the client's goals. She integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotional regulation and mindfulness practices for managing stress. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) methods alongside Narrative Therapy ideas to help reframe painful memories.
Sessions often involve teaching small skills you can use between meetings, like breathing, grounding, and thought-shifting techniques. Kathi-Ann emphasizes whole-body wellness, connecting mental skills with everyday routines. She aims to change how clients tell their own stories, without altering facts, so those stories feel less damaging.
With six years of clinical experience, she has worked with people affected by sexual trauma, long-term anxiety, and persistent depression. She also has experience supporting people with ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. Her approach is informal and conversational to make it easier to talk about difficult topics.
If someone wants straightforward guidance and practical tools alongside talk therapy, Kathi-Ann offers a blend of techniques meant to be useful in day-to-day life.
Approaches used online and what they do
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building goals around what matters to the person. The therapist follows the client's lead and helps shape sessions around their priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and building interpersonal effectiveness. These skills are useful for people who want step-by-step tools to handle hard moments. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) works with how memories are held in the body; it can help when past events continue to cause distress in day-to-day life.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and comfort level. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. This keeps therapy collaborative and tailored to the client's pace.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. People often choose online sessions because they can shorten commute time, fit a meeting into a lunch break, or use fewer technological resources like bandwidth when needed. Licensed professionals can guide practical practice and teach skills that translate into daily routines, so the work continues between appointments.
