About Katherine

Katherine Holloway is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington who brings 20 years of experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

She uses goal-oriented strategies and skill-building to help clients find practical ways to manage symptoms and navigate life transitions. Her background includes a degree in Conflict Management and Communication which informs her collaborative style and emphasis on clearer interactions.

She is trained in trauma-focused approaches and incorporates mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused methods, solution-focused tools, and Internal Family Systems to tailor therapy to each person’s needs. Katherine centers sessions on identifying goals, generating solutions, and expanding a client’s toolkit for coping and growth.

She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and addressed constructively. Clients can expect a therapist who values partnership in the therapeutic process and who supports practical change alongside emotional processing.

Katherine encourages those ready to begin to take the step toward scheduling an initial match and session according to her availability.

Using Evidence-Informed Approaches Online

Internal Family Systems helps people notice and relate to different parts of themselves - such as inner protectors or vulnerable parts - to reduce internal conflict and improve emotional balance, which can be useful for trauma responses and relationship struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, offering tools for managing anxiety, stress, and workplace or social difficulties. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) targets patterns in close relationships by helping people access and express core emotions to strengthen connection and resolve recurring conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful in early sessions, adjusting methods as progress and needs become clearer. This cooperative stance helps ensure the methods used match the individual's situation and pace.

Online work is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible access to therapy that fits varied schedules and life demands. These formats make it possible to continue skill-building, process trauma-informed work, and practice new communication strategies from home or another convenient location while coordinating appointments around daily responsibilities.
