Katherine Holloway, LMFT

Katherine Holloway is a licensed marriage and family therapist in Washington who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and self-esteem struggles. She brings 20 years of experience to conversations about life stressors and major transitions. Katherine speaks English and lists Veteran and Armed Forces issues and post-traumatic stress among her areas of focus.

She aims to help people set concrete goals and build practical skills they can use day to day. Sessions often include techniques drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and mindfulness to address difficult thoughts and intense feelings. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to improve communication and connection in relationships.

Her background includes a degree in conflict management and communication, which she uses to help people talk through hard topics and repair interactions. Over two decades she has worked with adults facing trauma, workplace stress, parenting strain, and life purpose questions. Katherine emphasizes creating an open space where thoughts and feelings can be named without judgment.

When trauma is part of the picture, she applies trauma-focused methods designed to reduce intrusive symptoms and improve coping. She helps clients expand their toolbox of skills so they can respond differently to triggers and daily pressures. The work is practical and goal-oriented, with attention to emotional experience.

She encourages anyone who is ready to take the next step to begin the intake process and complete the matching questionnaire. From there clients schedule sessions based on therapist availability and plan the work together.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Katherine uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviors. CBT-style work often focuses on clear, short-term goals such as reducing worry, improving sleep, or changing responses to stress.

She also draws on emotionally-focused methods to help with connection and communication problems. This approach looks at emotions behind patterns and helps people express needs more clearly in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Katherine will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. Sessions begin with practical goal-setting and may shift as needs change so the plan stays useful.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by removing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or letting someone choose a quieter setting with less background noise. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for use between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
