About Kathi-Ann

Kathi-Ann Busha is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in Utah who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, and a wide range of related concerns.

Background and approach

She brings six years of clinical experience and has worked with issues such as family conflict, parenting challenges, eating and body-image problems, impulsivity, and the emotional impacts of separation or disaster.

Her background includes work with clients on the autism spectrum and those who identify as LGBT, and she has specific training in EMDR for addressing sexual abuse and sexual trauma. Her therapeutic stance is conversational and client-centered.

She helps clients reframe the stories they tell about their lives while keeping the facts intact, and she blends skills training and mindfulness practices to reduce distress in daily life. Techniques she commonly integrates include EMDR, narrative work, dialectical behavior therapy skills, cognitive-behavioral elements, and mindfulness exercises to support emotional regulation and whole-body wellness.

Clients can expect an open, collaborative relationship aimed at identifying meaningful goals and building practical skills. She recognizes the courage it takes to seek help and offers support focused on creating sustainable change and improved functioning.

Approaches that inform online work and what they address

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and collaboration, giving clients space to explore feelings and goals while the therapist reflects and helps clarify priorities; it is useful for managing stress, relationship concerns, and building self-understanding. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, which can help with impulsivity, anger, and overwhelming anxiety. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and associated distress.

Finding the most helpful approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then tailor a plan that may combine elements from these approaches to best support symptom reduction and improved functioning.

Online therapy with this practice uses flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - to fit different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend regularly, access care from home, and continue skill practice between sessions, supporting continuity of work even when life gets busy.
