About Kathryne
Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and trauma. She also supports people dealing with codependency, attachment issues, and challenges like impulsivity or guilt. Kathryne speaks plain, direct language and aims to make the first steps feel manageable.
She uses a collaborative, respectful style. Sessions focus on what matters most to the person in front of her. That can mean learning new skills to manage overwhelming emotions, talking through past hurts, or making a plan for recovery from substance use.
Kathryne draws from several commonly used therapy approaches. In practice she blends techniques to fit each person rather than following a single formula. Her work emphasizes practical tools, emotion regulation, and building healthier patterns in daily life.
With three years of clinical experience, she has supported people through both short-term crises and longer recovery goals. She describes the space as nonjudgmental and steady, aiming to help clients feel safer with difficult material and clearer about next steps.
People who choose to work with Kathryne typically begin by identifying immediate concerns and priorities. From there she helps set goals and tracks progress in straightforward ways. She asks people to be in Utah when working together, in line with licensing requirements.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and identify actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, avoidance, and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thinking patterns that feed problems and practicing different behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right approach is part of the process and happens collaboratively. The therapist will review goals, try techniques that fit those goals, and adjust methods based on what works best for the individual. Clients help set priorities and decide which tools to use as therapy progresses.
Confirm current session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from more convenient locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions without video when bandwidth or personal preference makes that helpful. Talk with the therapist about scheduling, session length, and what to expect so arrangements match day-to-day needs.
