About Kathryne

Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, trauma, and addictions. She works with adults to address mood changes and the daily struggles that come with loss, recovery, or overwhelming stress. Kathryne writes plainly and listens closely to learn what matters most to each person.

She uses a mix of practical talk therapy and skills-based work. Sessions often focus on identifying patterns, managing strong emotions, and building small habits that make life feel steadier. Her style is collaborative and respectful - she partners with people to set goals that fit their lives.

Kathryne blends several therapeutic approaches to meet different needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and act toward them.

With three years of experience as an LCSW, she has worked with a range of concerns including substance use, trauma, and PTSD. Sessions are offered to people located in Utah. She conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients.

If someone is unsure whether therapy is a good fit, Kathryne encourages a first meeting to talk goals and expectations. She aims to make the process straightforward so people can focus on the work they want to do.

Online approaches that focus on values and skills

Kathryne often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people name what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. ACT can be helpful for depression and anxiety when someone wants clearer direction and less getting stuck on difficult thoughts.

She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to try out different behaviors. CBT tends to be practical and goal-focused, useful for mood shifts, stress, and many everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, what has or has not worked before, and which methods feel most comfortable. Together they decide what to try and adjust plans as needed.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time so appointments can happen around work or caregiving. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep momentum between sessions and practice new skills in daily routines.
