About Katarzyna

Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway offers clear, direct help for parents and caregivers worried about stress, anxiety, addictive behaviors, and the fallout from betrayal. She speaks plainly about patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.

Her style aims to make sense of confusing emotions and disruptive habits so people can find steadier ground. Kat brings 26 years of clinical experience to sessions. She holds an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - and practices from Florida.

Background and approach

She commonly addresses addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related struggles, grief, parenting concerns, and issues such as ADHD and bipolar within the context of daily functioning. Her work often includes body-focused or somatic techniques alongside talk-based work. That means attention to how stress and traumatic memories show up in the body as well as in thoughts.

Clients learn skills to calm intense sensations, manage urges, and reduce reliving painful events. Therapy with Kat is described as grounded, direct, and compassionate. She helps people identify the roots of patterns rather than only treating surface symptoms.

The aim is to move out of fight-or-flight reactions and toward clearer choices and steadier relationships. Sessions use practical steps and reflective conversation. Parents and caregivers who are overwhelmed by grief, parenting stress, compulsive behaviors in a partner, or relationship rupture often appreciate her straightforward guidance.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to fit different schedules.

Approaches that combine body work and practical skills

Dr. Holloway often uses somatic-informed techniques to help people notice and calm physical responses to stress and trauma. Those methods focus on breath, grounding, and gentle body awareness to reduce overwhelming sensations and improve regulation.

She also applies evidence-based approaches for addressing addictive behaviors and betrayal trauma by targeting triggers, urges, and the patterns that keep problems repeating. This includes learning concrete coping skills, relapse prevention strategies, and ways to rebuild safer patterns of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions. Together they adjust methods over time so work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online therapy with Dr. Holloway is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy family routines, manage symptoms from home, and maintain continuity of care across locations. Many people find the variety of formats helpful for check-ins, skill practice, and deeper sessions depending on what they need at the time.
