Ken McCauley, LCMHC

Ken McCauley is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in Utah with 14 years working as a licensed therapist. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting, sleeping and eating problems, and anger among other concerns. He works with adults who are trying to manage everyday pressures and repeated patterns that cause conflict or distress.

Before licensure Ken spent many years in human services for the State of Utah, including work related to child abuse, neglect, adoption, and foster care. He has also worked in outpatient clinics treating adults referred by court and in community mental health settings supporting people with substance use issues and other complex needs. That background informs his practical view of the challenges people bring to therapy.

In sessions he listens for strengths clients already have and uses those as tools toward clear goals. His style blends cognitive-behavioral methods with client-centered and attachment-informed ideas to help people notice how thoughts, feelings, and relationships interact. He also uses elements drawn from dialectical behavior therapy and EMDR when appropriate.

Ken emphasizes straightforward goal setting and concrete strategies to reduce distressing thoughts and behaviors. He often helps people who struggle with work, housing, finances, or role pressures to make manageable changes. He does not use stigmatizing labels and aims to support people in taking practical steps toward better daily functioning.

People who come for help with anger can expect a focus on identifying triggers, changing unhelpful thinking patterns, and learning skills to respond differently.
