About Darryl

Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, and major life stresses. He brings two decades of counseling experience to each session and aims to create a calm, approachable space for difficult conversations.

He works with people facing trauma, relationship problems, substance use concerns, and major life transitions. Darryl often uses cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches to help people change unhelpful patterns and build coping skills. He also draws on existential ideas to help clients find meaning when life feels uncertain.

Across his career he has supported people connected to systems like Child Welfare Services, family courts, and public safety departments. That work informed his practical focus on clear problem-solving, safety planning, and addressing day-to-day challenges that get in the way of recovery.

Sessions tend to be interactive and skills-oriented. Clients can expect straightforward strategies for mood regulation, communication, and relapse prevention when relevant. Darryl describes his style as culturally aware and compassionate, aiming to meet each person where they are.

He earned a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Gonzaga University in 2003 and has continued practicing in Hawaii since then. People looking for help with grief, parenting strain, career stress, ADHD, or anger can discuss those concerns and plan a focused course of work together.

Approach-driven online care with practical tools

Many of Darryl's methods are well suited to talk-based work and skills practice. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments to ease symptoms like depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help with intense moods and relationship conflicts. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning, and life choices, which can be helpful when people face big transitions or questions about purpose.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Darryl will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. He adapts pacing and tools based on what is most useful for the individual situation.

Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow regular check-ins for practicing new skills. Some formats also let people use audio-only check-ins when video isn't needed or a shorter session is preferable. Talk with the therapist during the scheduling step to pick the arrangement that best matches your needs.
