About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) practicing in Utah with six years of experience. She works with young adults and others on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, self-esteem, and life transitions. Her approach is conversational and direct, aimed at helping people make sense of what they are facing and find practical ways to cope.
She uses an integrative style that blends narrative work with mindfulness and skills training. That means she helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves while also teaching concrete tools like grounding, breathing, and thought-challenging exercises. Sessions focus on real-life skill building alongside reflective conversation.
EMDR is part of her practice for people who have trauma linked to distressing memories. She pairs that with techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and mindfulness to support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. The goal is to reduce the hold of painful memories while improving day-to-day coping.
People who feel stuck after major life changes, who struggle with chronic anxiety or depression, or who want help managing ADHD or body-image concerns often seek her out. She also works with issues tied to family of origin, codependency, grief over separation or divorce, and compulsive behaviors.
Her sessions are conversational and skills-focused. She helps clients identify patterns, try small changes, and track what works. To begin, prospective clients choose an online matching step and schedule a first meeting to see if the fit feels right.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what someone says so they can better understand their own thoughts and feelings; it helps when someone needs space to sort out identity, choices, or relationship questions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, handling conflict, and reducing impulsive actions - useful for anxiety, anger, and impulsivity. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is aimed at easing the strong emotional charge tied to traumatic memories by using guided techniques to process those memories safely.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Confirm what session formats are available before booking, since the biography does not list specific online delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a school or work day, allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not possible, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals often use these practical benefits to help therapy fit into everyday life while working toward clearer thinking and better emotion regulation.
