About Kesha

Kesha Diodato is a licensed clinical social worker with twenty years of experience helping adults manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. She practices in Hawaii and draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help people change unhelpful thoughts and cope with strong emotions. She focuses on clear, direct work.

Sessions often include learning skills to tolerate distress, manage intense feelings, and improve everyday interactions. Kesha aims to make the room feel calm and nonjudgmental so people can talk about what’s hard.

Background and approach

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy with trauma-focused strategies when needed. That means she helps people notice patterns of thinking, try different behaviors, and develop concrete skills for handling difficult moments. The work is goal-oriented and hands-on rather than mainly talk about feelings.

Kesha has supported civilians, active-duty service members, and Veterans in outpatient and residential settings. She also provides remote care and adjusts methods to fit each person’s situation and pace. Her military experience informs how she addresses deployment-related and service-connected stressors.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. She listens first, then helps craft a plan with clear steps. Progress is measured in practical changes people can use in daily life.

Online support

How CBT, DBT, and Trauma Work Online

Kesha uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and change thinking patterns that increase anxiety or low mood. CBT sessions focus on practical exercises, testing new behaviors, and building routines that reduce distress.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal communication. DBT-style work often includes short skills practice and step-by-step strategies for handling intense moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals, try methods, and adjust what they do based on what helps most. Kesha aims to match techniques to the person’s needs, pace, and preferences rather than sticking to a single method.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video allows face-to-face interaction for skills practice, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, or recovery routines.
