What Keanimaikalani says about the work

Reproduced in full and unedited - not summarised, not tightened, not rewritten in a house voice.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the State of Hawaii with lots of experience working with different age groups throughout my profession. I have past experience working with individuals (of all ages), couples, and families. I have worked on a variety of concerns such as stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family problems, ADHD, depression and ODD. I have a strong background working closely with families on building a strong bond with each other and helping them understand each family members viewpoint.

Being born and raised on the island of Oahu and attending four years of college in Eastern Oregon, I have grown to appreciate all cultural backgrounds and lifestyles. It is a very important aspect for me to create an environment where any and everyone can feel comfortable being themselves. I am a strong believer in experiential therapy and work closely with each client to achieve the goals they set out for themselves by walking with them through their journey. I am a person and client-centered therapist, meaning I work with the client while holding them as the expert in their life. My approach also includes humanistic, cognitive-behavioral and psychodynamic counseling. I believe in treating others in a respectful manner at all times and lead sessions in a very open environment.

I believe in creating a safe space for all and look forward to creating that space together. I hope we can build a therapeutic relationship that can help you succeed in all aspects of life!

03 · How Keanimaikalani works

The 4 approaches Keanimaikalani lists, in plain English

These are the clinical methods Keanimaikalani lists. The descriptions are Maker Therapy's, not Keanimaikalani's - a general explanation of what each method is, so the list means something before you have spoken to anybody. They are not a claim about how Keanimaikalani runs a session.

Client-Centred TherapyPerson-centred · Rogerian

The therapist does not steer toward a technique or a diagnosis. They offer sustained, non-judgemental attention and reflect back what they hear, on the premise that people find their own direction when they are genuinely listened to. Often what people mean by “someone who just gets it”.

Mindfulness-Based TherapyMBCT

Trains attention on what is happening right now - body, breath, the thought as it arrives - so distress can be observed rather than automatically acted on. Strongest evidence is in preventing depression from recurring, and it is usually taught as a practice you keep doing outside the session.

Motivational InterviewingMI

A way of talking about change with somebody who is genuinely in two minds about it. The therapist does not argue for the change; they help you say your own reasons out loud, which is the part that predicts whether it happens. Common around substance use and health behaviour.

Solution-Focused Brief TherapySFBT

Starts from where you want to end up rather than from how you got here. Sessions look for the times the problem is already smaller and work out what is different about those, so the number of sessions tends to be short and the work concrete.

04 · What happens next

From this page to a first session

Keanimaikalani practises through BetterHelp, so the route in is BetterHelp's. This is that sequence, written by Maker Therapy from the platform's published process - not a description of Keanimaikalani's own practice, and not a promise about how quickly anything happens.

1. A questionnaire, not a booking form

   BetterHelp opens with a set of questions about what you are dealing with, what you want from therapy, and any preferences on the therapist. You are not booking Keanimaikalani at this point.

2. Naming Keanimaikalani specifically

   BetterHelp matches algorithmically by default, so asking for Keanimaikalani is a step you have to take. There is a field for requesting a specific therapist during sign-up, and you can switch afterwards from your account. Starting from a link on this page does not by itself assign you to Keanimaikalani.

3. If the caseload is full

   You will be offered somebody else rather than put on a waitlist. Worth knowing, because it is easy to assume a match is the person you asked for.

4. The first conversation

   A first session is typically history and orientation: what brought you, what has been tried, what you want to be different. It is also where the questions in the next section belong.

5. If the fit is wrong

   Changing therapist on BetterHelp does not need a reason. A first session that does not click is common and is not a verdict on therapy. That option existing is the main practical difference between a platform and a private practice.

05 · Before you commit

3 questions worth asking Keanimaikalani

Built from what Keanimaikalani actually lists, so they are answerable and specific rather than generic. Maker Therapy's, not Keanimaikalani's - Keanimaikalani has not seen them and is under no obligation to answer any of them.

• “You list both Solution-Focused Brief Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy. Which do you lean on with someone like me?”

  Those two point in different directions - one structured and led by the therapist, the other led by you. The answer tells you what the sessions will actually feel like.

• “How do you decide when someone is ready to work on a traumatic memory itself?”

  Pacing is the biggest safety question in trauma work. A clear, unhurried answer here matters more than any credential.

• “How do you handle the gap between sessions if something comes up?”

  On BetterHelp this varies a great deal by therapist. Better to know the rhythm now than to discover it on a bad week.

07 · Provenance

Where every line on this page came from

Keanimaikalani's name, credential, state, subjects, approaches and biography are read from BetterHelp's therapist roster, which Maker Therapy re-reads once a day; this page reflects the reading taken on 6 Nov 2026. The licence number and NPI are cross-checked against public registers.

The plain-English method descriptions, the first-session walkthrough and the questions are written by Maker Therapy and labelled as such wherever they appear.

Maker Therapy is not BetterHelp, does not take bookings, and has not met Keanimaikalani. There are no reviews or ratings on this page because we have no way to verify one. If you start therapy through a link here, we may be paid a commission - it does not change your price and it does not affect who appears here or in what order.
