Kathi-Ann Busha

Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, anger, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She also supports people coping with ADHD, addictions, body image concerns, and difficult life changes. Kathi-Ann writes plainly and talks through problems in a conversational way so clients can find practical steps forward.

She takes a collaborative, talk-centered approach that helps people reframe painful stories without erasing what happened. Sessions often include simple skills for day-to-day relief, such as mindfulness and thought skills to reduce distress. Kathi-Ann blends narrative ideas with mindfulness and behavioral strategies to address both feelings and actions.

Her background includes six years of clinical work and a focus on trauma, including sexual trauma and abuse. She has experience with people on the autism spectrum and with attention differences, and she aims to adapt techniques to each person’s style and pace.

Kathi-Ann emphasizes practical coping tools alongside deeper processing work. Clients can expect a calm, conversational space where the therapist helps break down problems into manageable steps. She encourages pacing therapy to match each person’s needs.

For people who worry about making the wrong choice, she stresses that connection matters most. The work begins by listening, naming the struggle, and choosing approaches together that feel doable.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's lead, helping people feel heard while they sort out what matters most. This approach is useful for addressing anxiety, low self-esteem, and feeling stuck in relationships or life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and impulsive behavior. It includes grounding, emotion regulation, and interpersonal techniques that help with anger, self-control, and overwhelming stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying different skills or pacing deeper work so clients feel ready.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into life easier, such as arranging appointments around work, school, or caregiving. If you need shorter check-ins, sessions that do not use video, or ways to practice mindfulness between meetings, talk with the therapist to confirm what she currently offers. Verify available session formats before booking so arrangements match your schedule and needs.
