About Kathryne
Kathryne Koahou is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Utah with three years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Kathryne focuses on practical coping and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Kathryne uses several well-known approaches to help clients manage symptoms and day-to-day challenges. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take workable steps. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
In sessions she takes a collaborative stance. Conversations look at what is causing strain now and what small changes might help. She helps people build skills they can use between meetings and tracks what is most useful for each person.
Her background includes focused work with substance use concerns and trauma-related problems. That experience informs practical strategies for recovery, relapse prevention, and processing difficult memories. Kathryne also addresses related areas such as codependency, attachment issues, guilt and shame, and problems with impulse control.
Clients should be located in Utah to work with her. Conversations are conducted in English and emphasize concrete steps toward clearer routines, safer coping, and improved day-to-day functioning.
BHow sessions work
How Kathryne Uses ACT, CBT, and DBT Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and then take small, values-based steps. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation, and stress that comes from feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and the behaviors that follow. It is practical and works well for treating depression, anxiety, and problems that involve negative self-talk or unhelpful routines.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive actions. These skills can be applied to substance use struggles, intense mood swings, and overwhelming stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and help select methods based on the person's goals, preferences, and what has or has not worked in the past. This is a collaborative process and may combine skills from different approaches.
Confirm the exact online session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss with the therapist how to arrange sessions to match your daily routine and communication preferences.
