Kathi-Ann is amazing! She balances our sessions really well between serious reflection and humor so that I can express and feel my difficult emotions without spiraling in them. She also does really well pushing me when I need it and giving me space to come to understandings on my own when that's the better way. I'm very grateful to have her help while working through my trauma.
More about Kathi-Ann
- 6 years' experience

- LCMHC
I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Utah. I have experience working with children, teens, and families. Some of the concerns that I have worked with clients on in therapy include family conflict, transitioning to adulthood, long-term depression, persistent anxiety, stress, abuse, and trauma. I am an EMDR-trained therapist who has worked with clients who have experienced sexual abuse and sexual trauma. I have experience working with clients with ADHD, on the autism spectrum, and who would consider themselves "quirky".
My counseling style is open and based around conversation. I help my clients to conceptualize their concerns and problems in a different light, changing the meaning of the stories they tell without changing the facts. I also help clients to develop different skills that can help to manage symptoms of distress in everyday life, such as mindfulness and meditation techniques and thought-changing skills. My counseling style combines EMDR and Narrative therapy techniques with DBT, CBT, and mindfulness skills for a whole-body wellness approach.
I understand how difficult it can be to seek therapy and to find a therapist that whom you connect with. I applaud those who take the first step toward facing their issues and fears and hope that I am able to work with you to live your best life.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She's also incredible at balancing seriousness with humor during sessions. I'm grateful for how understanding she is about the nuanced issues I struggle with. Highly recommend!
She is great at listening and helping me with my concerns. I feel like she really cares. And she has helped me deal with difficult situations.
Kathi-Ann is one of the most compassionate and understanding counselors I’ve ever had. She supports my mental wellness and challenges me when I need it. I’ve grown so much these past few months. I’m excited about the work we do together and look forward to our weekly sessions.
Really appreciate how she gives me many different ideas and or options on how to deal with triggers. She validates my feelings and has helped me move on from them.
I have only had one video session with Kathi-Ann Busha and it went really well. We are still in the early stages but I am confident that she and I will work great together! She is a fantastic listener and offers her expertise. She follows up and takes notes. Would definitely reccommend!
Kathi-Ann is an excellent listener and problem solver, even when I ramble on about issues and frustrations she always pulls out the parts that matter to examine. Her charisma helps me remember there are good people around us, and the world can be a nurturing place even if it doesn't seem so.
I really clicked with her and have respect for her. She asks the right questioms
She is always so helpful with possible solutions, resources and insights.
I've only had 3 visits with Kathi-Ann, but so far I've enjoyed every one. I actually chose her because of her 3 years experience as a therapist. I wanted someone with a fresh view and perspective. She has helped me to be more compassionate towards myself..
Kathi-Ann is an amazing resource. She is really good at listening and saying all the right things
Kathi-Ann gives a great outside perspective to internal problems. She has helped me understand triggers for my anxiety and depression. Also she has provided ways I can expect and understand those triggers before such anxiety episodes can get worse. Above all, she is a great listener and supporter in my life.
Kathi-Ann is a godsend and a great person. She is so thoughtful and responsive to my concerns and makes me feel seen and heard without judgement. I am so happy that I was assigned to her after the first attempt at finding a therapist on here which did not go well. If you have a hard time with a therapist, keep looking, I’m sure glad that I did!
Awesome! She listens and provides real solutions that make sense. She is very relatable and I really like talking to her.
Kathi has been great. She has helped me and continues to help me with some anxiety issues and other things. Thank you!
So far so good
Kathi-Ann is very caring and supportive. I feel like she understands me better than everyone because she actively tries to get to know me better. She has given me very good perspectives and insights into my own thoughts and behaviors, which has helped me to grow into a better version of myself. I owe a lot of gratitude to her for the progress I have made and struggles I have overcome.
Kathi is incredibly kind and patient. She’s been my favorite therapist by far. She’s very diligent and makes me feel important.
Really like kathi-Ann she is real and down to earth. First time I actually liked a therapist like a friend. I grateful I found her.
I have also only been working with Kathi-Ann for a short time and have felt immense relief during our contacts. I feel safe, valued and heard. She gives thoughtful responses and genuinely seems to care about me. My last therapist was nowhere near as concerned with me and it hurts to feel misheard or bothersome. But I don’t feel that at all from Kathi-Ann, her responses make me smile and a feeling of comfort washes over me.
Kathie and Busha is trying really hard to help. I am so thankful for her.
