About Ken
Ken McCauley is an LCMHC (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor) with 14 years as a licensed therapist working in Utah. He helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and parenting concerns, depression, ADHD, trauma and abuse, grief, and related issues. He also addresses eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, career stress, and coping with life changes.
Before licensing he spent many years in human services for the State of Utah, including work on child abuse, neglect, adoption, and foster care issues. Much of his practice has involved adults referred by the courts or community programs and people facing financial and housing instability. That background informs his practical focus on everyday problems as well as clinical concerns.
Ken uses straightforward, goal-focused methods. He listens for strengths and helps people identify concrete steps to manage distressing thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) features in his approach alongside attachment-based and client-centered ideas, dialectical skills, and EMDR elements when appropriate.
In sessions he works with clients to set measurable goals and try specific strategies. He addresses thinking patterns that feed anxiety, depression, addictions, and relationship problems. He also supports people dealing with abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, impulsivity, and isolation.
Clients can expect practical conversation about problems and options. Ken draws on years in community mental health and state services to connect clinical work with real-life needs.

How his approaches translate to online care
Ken integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy into brief, practical work. CBT focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and addictive patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape reactions and helps people change how they relate in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes listening and building on the client’s own goals and strengths to guide each step.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. He will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that match your needs, and adjust methods as work progresses. The plan is shaped together so methods stay useful and realistic for daily life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. It can also make it simpler to use skills in real situations between meetings. Licensed professionals adapt exercises, homework, and skill practice to work well over remote sessions when that format is used.
