About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha, LCMHC, helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, depression, ADHD, and relationship or family-related concerns. She writes in plain language and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Her first aim is to make therapy feel like a calm, straightforward conversation.
Kathi-Ann centers sessions on understanding the stories people tell about their lives. She helps clients reframe those stories so painful memories and patterns feel less overwhelming.
Background and approach
She also teaches skills for day-to-day coping, including mindfulness exercises and ways to change unhelpful thoughts. Her work blends talking therapy with structured tools. She uses client-centered listening alongside techniques drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and narrative approaches.
For trauma and abuse-related concerns, she draws on eye movement desensitization and reprocessing methods when appropriate. Sessions tend to be conversational and paced to each person. Kathi-Ann focuses on simple, concrete techniques that people can practice between meetings.
She aims to reduce symptoms and build more useful habits over time. Kathi-Ann holds a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor credential in Utah and has six years of clinical experience. She offers services in English and provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches for online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship. It centers the client's experience and encourages people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and helps clarify what matters most. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches specific coping skills for strong emotions and impulsive behaviors, such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques that can help with anger and anxiety. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, often called EMDR, is used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories by pairing focused recall with guided bilateral stimulation when that approach fits the person's needs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before, then try methods that match those priorities. That shared planning helps adjust techniques over time so the work stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to hold fuller sessions when seeing facial cues and body language matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, step-by-step coaching, or ongoing skill practice between longer sessions. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent with their daily life.
