About Kesha

Kesha Diodato is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) authorized to practice in Hawai'i with more than twenty years of professional experience supporting adults through a range of life challenges. She works with individuals facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and post-traumatic stress related to military deployment or abuse, as well as those navigating major life changes. Kesha takes a collaborative approach, creating an open environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgment and where clients and therapist work together to set meaningful goals.

Her clinical practice draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, which addresses unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which focuses on present-moment skills, improving interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation. She adapts interventions to fit each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.

Kesha has provided care to civilians, active-duty service members, and Veterans across outpatient and residential settings and through remote telehealth services. She is motivated to meet clients where they are and to assist them in moving toward a more satisfying and fulfilling life, offering steady support throughout the process.

Online Approaches for Trauma, Stress, and Emotion Skills

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and the behaviors that follow, making it useful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes practical skills - such as staying present, improving relationships, tolerating distress, and managing emotions - and is often used when intense feelings or relationship challenges interfere with daily life. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic events by processing trauma-related memories and building coping strategies to reduce their ongoing effect.

Kesha works collaboratively with each person to determine which approach or combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. The selection of techniques is an ongoing conversation, and adjustments are made as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Kesha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to attend sessions consistently and to access therapeutic support from home or other convenient locations while working with licensed professionals to move toward personal goals.
