Kathi-Ann Busha

Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and eating and food-related issues. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, ADHD, addictions, family problems, parenting strain, and coping with life changes. Her tone is conversational and practical, aimed at people who want straightforward support.

She uses a talk-based style to help clients reframe painful or stuck stories about themselves. That means she listens, asks clear questions, and helps clients spot patterns that keep problems going. She also teaches skills for day-to-day relief like mindfulness, breathing, and concrete thought-management techniques.

Kathi-Ann blends narrative-focused work with skills drawn from dialectical behavior approaches and mindfulness practices. She may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing techniques when appropriate to address traumatic memories. Sessions are aimed at both understanding a person’s history and building tools for everyday life.

Her clinical work includes attention to body image, codependency, dissociation, hoarding, and impulsivity among other concerns. She has experience supporting people on the autism spectrum and those who identify as LGBT. Kathi-Ann emphasizes a collaborative relationship and clear, manageable steps toward change.

With six years of practice, she values honest conversation and practical coping strategies. Prospective clients are encouraged to try a brief introductory step and see if her approach feels like a good fit before moving forward.

How therapeutic approaches shape online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and making space for a person to tell their story. It asks straightforward questions and follows what matters most to the client, helping them feel heard and understood.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for emotions and relationships. It includes techniques for managing strong feelings, improving communication, and reducing impulsive behavior, which can help with anxiety, anger, and impulsivity.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, works with traumatic memories by combining focused attention on past events with guided bilateral stimulation to reduce distress tied to those memories. It is often used when trauma symptoms interfere with daily life.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to change and suggest methods that match their goals and comfort level. Together they decide whether narrative work, skills training, or trauma-focused techniques are the best next steps.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed.
