About Katherine
Katherine Holloway is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and parenting challenges. She brings 20 years of clinical experience and practical tools to each session. Her approach is down-to-earth and goal-minded, aimed at helping clients feel more able to handle everyday pressures.
Katherine focuses on clear communication and building skills people can use outside sessions. She emphasizes simple strategies to reduce anxiety, handle conflict, and respond to painful memories.
Background and approach
Sessions often include exercises to practice new ways of thinking and relating. Her training includes trauma-focused methods and cognitive behavioral techniques. Those approaches are used to lessen symptoms linked to past hurt and to change unhelpful thinking patterns.
She also draws on mindfulness exercises to calm the body and mind in the moment. Katherine helps clients set concrete goals and tries to keep work practical and solution-oriented. She likes to help people expand their “toolbox” so they have more options when problems come up.
Progress is handled at the client’s pace, with attention to what feels useful right now. In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where people can talk about thoughts and feelings. Her background in conflict management and communication informs how she supports clearer conversations and healthier boundaries.
She practices in Washington and offers multiple online session formats.
Evidence-based approaches for online family-focused care
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is commonly used for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns and often includes homework to practice new skills between sessions.Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, focuses on feelings and connection. It helps people identify emotional patterns that affect relationships and learn new ways to respond that improve closeness and understanding.
Katherine treats finding the right method as a team effort. She will talk with clients about goals, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust treatment based on what is most helpful. The plan is shaped by the client’s needs, pace, and preferences rather than one set method.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules and to use brief check-ins when needed. Remote work also lets clients practice skills at home and bring session work into real-life situations, which many people find practical and convenient.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
