Katherine Holloway is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in Washington with two decades of professional experience. She holds an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - and brings training in Conflict Management and Communication to her clinical work. Katherine specializes in supporting people facing stress and anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, and parenting concerns, and she also addresses a broad range of family and life issues such as blended family dynamics, divorce and separation, and veteran-related concerns.

Katherine is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy, an evidence-informed approach for reducing symptoms of post-traumatic stress and related difficulties. She works collaboratively with clients to set clear goals, identify practical solutions, and expand the set of coping skills available for everyday life. Her style emphasizes openness and nonjudgmental exploration so thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly. Katherine values the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to make the first steps toward change as accessible and supportive as possible.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Katherine combines approaches that help people manage symptoms and rebuild relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of responding - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and mood concerns and provides practical skills for day-to-day coping.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotional patterns within close relationships, helping partners and family members recognize underlying feelings and reshape interactions to strengthen connections and resolve conflict.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is used to address the effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress by helping individuals process traumatic memories and develop strategies to reduce their impact on daily life. Katherine's training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy informs this work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Katherine works collaboratively with each person to select and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to connect from home or on the go. These options allow appointments to fit varied schedules and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult, while still allowing therapists to deliver structured, goal-oriented treatment.
