About Kathryne
LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) in Utah with three years of clinical experience, Kathryne Koahou helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She works with adults who need support managing everyday distress and longer-term challenges related to substance use, trauma, and mood. Sessions are offered in English and are provided to people located in Utah.
Kathryne uses practical, evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In sessions she listens, clarifies goals, and helps people practice skills they can use between meetings. The focus is on manageable steps and concrete strategies rather than abstract theory.
She works with a wide range of related concerns, including abandonment, attachment issues, codependency, control issues, dissociation, domestic violence, and drug and alcohol addiction. She also addresses struggle areas like body image, guilt and shame, emptiness, impulsivity, jealousy, and questions about life purpose. Kathryne describes her approach as collaborative and respectful.
People can expect direct, skill-focused work that blends talking with exercises and real-world practice. Sessions may include emotion regulation skills, cognitive restructuring, and building routines to reduce cravings or manage stress. The emphasis is on learning tools to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning.
Her clinical background includes work with trauma, PTSD, recovery from substance use, grief, and mood disorders. She asks that clients be located in Utah in order to receive services. To begin a match and schedule a first session, visitors complete a short questionnaire on the service site.

How Kathryne uses ACT, CBT, and DBT in remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed action. In practice this means noticing difficult thoughts and choosing steps that align with what matters, useful for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviors. Sessions typically include noticing thought patterns, testing beliefs, and practicing different responses to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills can help with impulsivity, intense emotions, and relationship strain.
Finding the right approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That assessment guides whether more skills training, values work, or cognitive restructuring is emphasized.
Confirm the session formats offered before booking, as specific online options are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and reduce travel time. They also allow shorter check-ins or conversational-only appointments when that better fits a day. Discuss practical arrangements during the sign-up steps so sessions match your routine and technical needs.
