About Kathi-Ann

Kathi-Ann Busha is a licensed clinical mental health counselor who helps people cope with stress, anxiety, long-term depression, trauma and abuse, and challenges like ADHD or parenting strain. She uses straightforward conversation to understand what’s getting in the way and to find practical ways forward. Kathi-Ann practices in Utah and offers help in English.

Her approach centers on hearing each person’s story and looking for different ways to understand it. She combines client-centered listening with narrative techniques to shift how clients make sense of painful events. She also uses skills from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness to teach tools for managing strong emotions and daily stress.

Kathi-Ann incorporates eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or EMDR, when trauma processing is needed. She pairs that with skills training so people can feel steadier between sessions. Her work often addresses body image, codependency, control issues, dissociation, hoarding, and eating-related problems alongside core concerns.

Sessions focus on practical skill building as much as on talking. Clients learn mindfulness and simple thought-changing techniques they can use at home. The pace is collaborative and adjusted to what each person can handle.

With six years of experience, Kathi-Ann aims to create a calm, conversational space where people can name their struggles and try new coping strategies. She encourages small steps and real-world practice to help people move toward clearer thinking and better daily functioning.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the client’s lead. It involves open conversation and helps people feel heard while they figure out next steps. This approach is useful for depression, anxiety, and general life stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. These skills are taught in short, practical exercises that clients can use between sessions to cope with day-to-day challenges. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories by pairing focused attention with guided bilateral stimulation. It is often used when people want targeted work on past traumatic events and can be combined with skills practice to support emotional stability.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and recommend which methods to try. Choices are made collaboratively and can change as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy routines, reduce travel time, and make it easier to schedule short check-ins or practice skills between appointments. Online work can support trauma processing, skills training, and story-based work when the methods are adapted to the session format.
