About Kathryne
Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah with three years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Kathryne uses clear, practical steps to address current problems and reduce daily distress.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and emotion-focused methods. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of responding. Work can include skills for emotion regulation, coping strategies for cravings, and processing upsetting memories.
Kathryne emphasizes straightforward collaboration. Goals are set together and progress is checked regularly. She talks through coping options and helps people practice new habits between sessions.
The approach includes attention to patterns like attachment wounds, control issues, codependency, and impulsivity. She also addresses concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, dissociation, and family problems. Practical coping tools are combined with talk work aimed at understanding what keeps problems going.
People often come with mixed concerns such as addiction alongside trauma or depression. Kathryne supports work on both symptoms and the life problems that contribute to them. She asks for clear, achievable steps so progress can be seen in everyday life.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Online sessions can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT focuses on clear exercises and homework to change patterns that increase anxiety or depression. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice inner experience without fighting it and pick actions that match personal values; it can be useful when avoidance or stuckness is a problem. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and building a respectful working relationship so clients can explore what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together and checked over time so adjustments can be made.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit weekly or short check-in sessions into a busy schedule. It also allows practicing skills in real-life settings between meetings and can reduce travel time, making regular work on thoughts and habits more practical.
