About Kathryne
Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Utah. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works in a straightforward, compassionate way that aims to meet each person where they are. Kathryne emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration during sessions to make the process easier to take the first time.
With three years of clinical experience, Kathryne supports people through both everyday stress and more complex difficulties. She assists clients facing substance use and recovery, PTSD symptoms, mood concerns, and the aftermath of trauma. Her practice also addresses related issues such as attachment problems, codependency, control issues, dissociation, and feelings of emptiness.
Kathryne adapts her approach to each client's needs. She uses methods drawn from Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she focuses on helping people identify practical steps, build emotion regulation skills, and clarify personal values and goals.
She asks curious questions, listens carefully, and works with clients to develop small, achievable changes. Sessions often involve learning new coping skills, practicing emotional regulation, and addressing patterns that keep problems going. Kathryne aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space that supports steady progress.
Because she practices from Utah, clients must be located in that state to work together. Prospective clients are encouraged to review options and confirm session arrangements before scheduling.
How Kathryne Integrates Therapy Methods Online
Client-Centered Therapy puts your experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens carefully and follows your lead while helping you name what matters. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take action toward what they value. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce symptoms.Deciding which approach fits best is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together you can try strategies from different approaches and adjust the plan as you discover what works for you.
Confirm the available session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules require. It can also let people use video or phone options depending on comfort and bandwidth. The emphasis is on practical treatment that fits daily routines and supports steady progress rather than on any single method.
