Kathryne Koahou , LCSW

Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, and depression. She draws on three years of clinical experience to support people working through painful memories and difficult life chapters.

Her sessions focus on listening first and matching support to each person's needs. She uses practical strategies to manage overwhelming emotions and reduce harmful behaviors. She also helps clients clarify values and build routines that fit daily life.

In therapy she blends evidence-based methods with a warm, respectful manner. Conversations can include skills for emotion regulation, exercises that shift unhelpful thoughts, and steps to reduce substance-related harm. She pays attention to patterns like attachment, codependency, and control issues that often underlie repeated struggles.

Her work includes helping people process loss, face shame and guilt, and make sense of impulsivity or dissociation. She supports those dealing with domestic violence, family problems, body image concerns, and struggles tied to life purpose.

Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients who are located in Utah. Kathryne aims to create a steady, practical space for change and decision-making, meeting people where they are and helping them move toward clearer goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck by shifting attention from painful thoughts to meaningful steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, centers on understanding and processing emotions to improve awareness and emotional connection with oneself.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clear. This is a collaborative process where techniques are selected to match what the client wants to change.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a check-in on a busy day. Live chat and text allow brief check-ins, journaling-style reflection, or messaging between sessions to keep momentum.
