I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed to practice in the state of Hawai'i. With over twenty years of professional experience, I help adults cope more effectively with a variety of concerns, including, but not limited to, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, post-traumatic stress (military deployment, abuse), and various life changes.
I collaborate with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. My therapy style and approach are wide-ranging in nature and are largely influenced by evidenced-based treatments that challenge and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy) and promote skills training in the areas of being present-focused, improving social interactions, managing/tolerating distress, and controlling emotions (Dialectical Behavior Therapy).
My experience is varied as I have provided therapy to civilians, active-duty service members, and Veterans in traditional outpatient and residential settings, as well as, remotely via telehealth services. My passion is to meet my clients where they are and to assist them with getting to where they want to be.
Taking the first step to achieving a more enriching and satisfying life takes courage. I am here to support my clients along that process.
Additional areas of focus: Veteran and Armed Forces Issues
Clinical approaches: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kesha Diodato. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Been with Kesha for a short few months, but she has quickly become the best therapist I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
She is professional and kind and listens intently. She clearly communicates and gives me tools to help me deal with such huge life changes and all the anxiety that goes with it.
Grateful for our first few sessions and eagerly looking forward to many more!
Mahalo Kesha!

Kesha is a very active listener and is great at putting things into perspective that I wasn’t able to see before. She is very helpful in asking questions that get to the root of why I might be feeling what I’m feeling and helps process those feelings. She has an amazing welcoming energy and understanding that makes it so easy to talk to her. Thank you Kesha!

I only had a few therapy sessions with her, but she made me feel really comfortable and she was very supportive. I am going through a difficult time and I am really glad I had therapy with Kesha.
