Katherine Holloway is a Washington-based licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting worries, and low self-esteem. Her approach is down-to-earth and focused on practical tools people can use day to day.

She draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try different responses. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas guide work on connection and communication in close relationships.

Katherine encourages clear goal setting and solution-focused steps so progress feels measurable. She aims to build a toolkit of coping skills tailored to each person. Sessions emphasize an open space where thoughts and feelings are shared without judgment.

Her background also includes a degree in Conflict Management and Communication, which informs how she helps people improve conversations and manage family tensions. She has experience with trauma-focused methods that address symptoms related to past harm and stress.

If someone is ready to begin, the usual next step is to use the site Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a time that fits with therapist availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches work in online therapy

Mindfulness Therapy helps clients learn to notice thoughts, bodily sensations, and emotions with less reactivity. Practicing simple attention and breathing skills can reduce overwhelm and make it easier to choose responses instead of reacting automatically.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood challenges to create concrete changes in thinking and action.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on emotions and patterns in close relationships. It supports people who want clearer communication, stronger connection, or to change repeating cycles that cause hurt.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Katherine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That choice may shift over time as progress is made and priorities change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats she offers. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use methods like mindfulness practice and CBT homework in real life between sessions, helping skills stick.
