How Kathi-Ann works
She helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves while leaving the facts intact. Practical skills are part of the work, including mindfulness, meditation, and strategies for managing strong emotions. Kathi-Ann draws on several therapy approaches to match the person and the problem.
She uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals central. She brings in elements of narrative therapy to help shift meaning, dialectical behavior therapy skills to manage distress, and EMDR techniques when trauma processing is appropriate. With six years of clinical experience, she aims for a whole-body wellness focus that addresses thoughts, emotions, and behavior.
Her style is warm and open, with a priority on building trust and a sense of collaboration. People who want clear explanations, concrete skills, and a respectful listening space may find her approach helpful. She offers services in English and practices as an LCMHC licensed in Utah.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Client-centered therapy focuses the work on the person's goals and experiences. The therapist listens closely and shapes sessions around what matters most to the individual, which helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship stress.Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping. DBT techniques are useful for stress, anger, impulsivity, and problems that cause repeated distress.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, known as EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that can help people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional impact. EMDR is often combined with skills work and grounding strategies for fuller support.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and symptoms, and then adapt methods as progress unfolds. That means trying a skill-based plan, shifting to trauma work, or blending approaches based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people keep face-to-face interaction without travel. Phone sessions or audio can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, reminders, and support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and to continue work from different locations.
