About Darryl
Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who draws on two decades of clinical experience to support people facing a wide range of challenges.
Background and approach
He often uses practical, skills-based methods to address mood concerns, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and the stressors that accompany major life changes. His work includes integrating cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical skills alongside existential perspectives to help clients build coping strategies and clarify personal values.
Over the course of his career he has worked with clients contending with chronic mental illness, relationship and family difficulties, substance use, and interactions with systems such as Child Welfare Services and Family Courts.
That background informs a collaborative, culturally aware approach that emphasizes active problem solving, emotion regulation, and attention to the meanings that shape a person’s life. Darryl’s practice also includes focus areas such as grief, career concerns, intimacy issues, and ADHD, and he brings an empathetic, interactive style to each working relationship.
Practical Approaches and Online Mental Health Support
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is presented as a problem-solving approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Existential Therapy focuses on exploring personal values, meaning, and life choices to support people navigating transitions or questions about purpose.
Finding the right approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each client to determine which combination of strategies best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may start with practical skill-building and shift toward deeper exploration of values and meaning as therapy progresses, guided by client feedback and evolving priorities.
Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for scheduling and communication style. These remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods or when in-person meetings are impractical, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured interventions and supportive therapy across distance.
