About Darryl
Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people gain control of difficult feelings. He focuses on clear skills and steps clients can use between sessions. Darryl’s work is grounded in approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to address things that interfere with day-to-day life.
He has two decades of experience as a counselor and brings that background to concerns like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma.
Background and approach
He also helps people who struggle with addictions, anger, and the strain of major life changes. Parenting and family concerns are included among his areas of focus, with attention to communication and coping skills. Darryl has worked with individuals who have been involved with systems like child welfare and family court, so he understands how institutional settings can affect personal struggles.
He has supported people living with chronic mental health challenges and mood disorders such as bipolar conditions. He also addresses issues related to ADHD, intimacy, and self-esteem. His sessions aim to be interactive and culturally aware.
He blends problem-focused work with attention to values and meaning so people can build routines that feel useful. Practical tools, behavior-focused practice, and emotion regulation strategies are commonly part of therapy. Clients meet with him online through video, phone, chat, or text-based messaging.
He communicates in English and works with local clients in Hawaii. To begin, people complete a short questionnaire and schedule a session that fits their needs.

Approaches Darryl lists

Approach-based online care using CBT and DBT
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete strategies for changing unhelpful thinking and building routines that reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings. DBT, or Dialectical Behavior Therapy, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal skills. It is useful when strong emotions or anger interfere with daily life and relationships. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and life choices to help people clarify what matters and make decisions that fit their priorities.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, and then suggest which combination of methods to try. Treatment plans are adjusted over time based on what helps most, with clients involved in deciding next steps.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill coaching. Phone sessions are a lower-bandwidth option and can be a good choice when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging let people check in or do shorter coaching-style work between longer appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other commitments.
