About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with six years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, ADHD, addictions, and related concerns. Her approach is conversational and practical, aimed at helping people talk through problems and find ways to manage everyday distress.
She often helps clients reframe the stories they tell about their lives without changing the facts. That can make difficult experiences feel less overwhelming. Kathi-Ann also teaches concrete skills such as mindfulness, meditation practices, and thought-changing strategies that can be used between sessions.
Her background includes work with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual trauma, and with people on the autism spectrum or with ADHD. She combines narrative therapy ideas with techniques drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to address both thinking patterns and emotion regulation.
Kathi-Ann favors a conversational style that invites questions and collaboration. Sessions tend to focus on making sense of current problems, practicing skills, and testing new ways of responding in daily life. She guides people toward small, practical steps that can reduce stress and improve functioning.
People who find social situations, being watched, or speaking up hard may find her clear, step-by-step methods helpful. Before a first session she asks people to consider what they most want to change, so early meetings can be focused and useful.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience first and relies on open conversation to understand what matters most. It helps clarify immediate goals and what a person wants to change. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are useful for managing strong anxiety or anger in daily life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a structured approach used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity; it is often combined with other techniques when trauma is a focus.Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the work. The therapist reviews needs, goals, and preferences with each person and recommends steps together. This collaborative process helps choose whether to emphasize skill teaching, narrative work, or trauma processing in sessions.
Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People who prefer less visual focus can arrange sessions that suit their comfort level. Talk with the therapist during the initial matching steps to clarify practical details and what to expect.
