About Darryl

Darryl Khan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Hawaii with twenty years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, and major life changes. He offers steady guidance for relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting strains, and intimacy-related issues.

He uses Existential therapy to help clients grapple with meaning, choice, and life direction. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach practical skills for mood and behavior change.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to blend talking, skill practice, and goal setting so progress can be tracked. Over his career he has worked with people who have chronic mental health conditions and those facing legal or institutional systems like child welfare and family court. That background informs a pragmatic approach to navigating systems and managing stressors that come with those situations.

Darryl aims for an interactive and culturally aware style. He helps clients name patterns, test new ways of coping, and rebuild routines after setbacks. He supports people facing trauma, substance use concerns, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other struggles.

Many clients appreciate a mix of insight work and concrete tools. Darryl invites people to set short-term goals, try skill-based strategies between sessions, and revisit direction as needs change. He works in English and offers several online session formats to fit different schedules.

Online support

Approaches that guide online care and practical benefits

Existential Therapy focuses on questions about meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps when life feels uncertain or values and purpose are in question by encouraging honest reflection and clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It provides concrete exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, lift mood, and change unhelpful patterns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. It is useful when strong emotions or relationship conflicts make daily functioning harder.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods together, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative process lets treatment shift as needs change.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video is good for traditional therapy work, phone can be lower bandwidth, live chat supports brief check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting, or other commitments.
