Kathi-Ann Busha, LCMHC

Kathi-Ann Busha is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with six years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, addictions, eating concerns, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are based on conversation and practical skill-building.

Her approach is direct and conversational. She uses Client-Centered methods to listen and reflect, helping people reframe their own stories. She also draws on Narrative Therapy to shift meaning, and integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Kathi-Ann uses eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) with people who have trauma histories, including sexual abuse and sexual trauma. She pairs that with mindfulness exercises and thought-focused skills that aim to reduce daily distress. The emphasis is on concrete strategies people can use between sessions.

She has experience supporting people with ADHD and those on the autism spectrum. She describes her style as open and conversational and works to help clients see their problems from a different angle without changing the facts of what happened.

Practical steps are part of the work. Clients learn skills for managing strong emotions, slowing automatic reactions, and handling tense moments at home or work. The goal is clearer thinking and more effective ways of responding when anger or frustration appears.
