About Kathi-Ann
Kathi-Ann Busha is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in Utah. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, ADHD, and struggles with self-esteem and addictions. Her approach is conversational and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy feel manageable for a busy parent.
She focuses on helping people change the meaning of the stories they tell about their lives while keeping facts intact.
Background and approach
That often means looking at memories and patterns in new ways and trying out different coping skills. She teaches mindfulness and meditation techniques and practical thought-changing skills that can be used in day-to-day life. Kathi-Ann blends several therapeutic approaches to meet clients where they are.
She uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) alongside narrative methods and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Sessions emphasize both talking things through and building concrete tools for stress and emotion management. Her background includes six years of clinical experience and work with people who identify as neurodiverse, including those with ADHD and autistic traits.
She also has experience helping people affected by sexual trauma and abuse. Kathi-Ann aims to make the first steps into therapy feel understandable and doable for parents who are worried and pressed for time. Therapy sessions are offered in English and delivered online through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
She holds a Utah LCMHC credential and practices with a focus on practical skills and empathic listening.

Practical approaches for online parenting support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard and builds trust so they can explore parenting stresses, anxiety, or life changes at their own pace.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving communication, and reducing reactive behavior. Those skills are useful for parents who want better stress tolerance and clearer boundaries during difficult moments.
Kathi-Ann works collaboratively to find the best mix of approaches for each person. She will talk with clients about their goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Figuring out the right approach is part of the early sessions rather than a one-size-fits-all promise.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility for busy parents. Video calls allow deeper face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and live chat or text messaging can fit into brief breaks or nighttime check-ins. These options make it easier to keep regular contact, practice skills between sessions, and get support without long commutes.
