About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, addictions, self-esteem struggles, parenting stress, eating and body-image concerns, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster. She aims to make therapy feel conversational and approachable for people who are nervous about starting.
Her approach centers on listening first and helping clients reframe the stories they tell about themselves. She uses practices drawn from client-centered work and narrative methods to help people see their problems differently while keeping the facts intact. Mindfulness and DBT-style skills are offered to manage distress day to day, and EMDR is used with some trauma-related concerns.
Kathi-Ann describes sessions as collaborative conversations where practical skills are taught alongside deeper story work. She helps people build tools like grounding, thought-shifting techniques, and emotional regulation strategies they can use between sessions. The emphasis is on combining talk with skill practice so change can show up in daily life.
She brings six years of clinical experience to her work and has particular familiarity with autism spectrum concerns and clients who describe themselves as quirky. Her background includes supporting people through family conflict, transitions to adulthood, and long-running anxiety or depression.
People who choose to work with her should expect a friendly, talk-focused style that mixes symptom management with narrative exploration. Prospective clients can use the site process to learn more and decide if her style feels like a fit.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and meeting each person where they are; it helps clients feel heard and shapes the conversation around their goals. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in day-to-day life. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used with some trauma-related concerns to help process difficult memories alongside other therapeutic work.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, experience, and preferences, and then suggest which methods to prioritize. That collaborative process makes sessions feel tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, such as attending from a break at work or from home when travel is difficult. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Licensed professionals can guide skill practice, mindfulness exercises, narrative reflection, and some EMDR-adjacent steps through remote appointments, while helping people build habits they can use between sessions.
