About Katherine
Katherine Holloway helps people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and low self-esteem. She is a Washington-licensed marriage and family therapist with 20 years of experience. Her approach is practical and goal-oriented, aimed at giving clients tools they can use between sessions.
Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through current problems and set clear goals. Katherine draws on cognitive and emotion-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts, shift patterns that cause pain, and strengthen connections with others.
How Katherine works
She also uses mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and increase day-to-day coping. Her work often focuses on solving specific problems and building skills. That can mean short-term solution-focused work to tackle an immediate issue, or longer trauma-focused work when past harm affects daily life.
She emphasizes practical techniques people can apply right away. Katherine has a background in conflict management and communication, which informs how she helps people improve conversations and handle difficult interactions. She also supports concerns tied to aging, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and workplace stress.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to each person's goals. Katherine helps clients create a plan, practices new skills together, and checks progress over time. She aims to make therapy useful and understandable for people managing busy lives.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
CBT - Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, stress, social fears, and workplace-related difficulties because it breaks issues into clear steps and homework tasks.EFT - Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in close relationships. It can help people improve communication, manage jealousy, and rebuild trust by practicing new ways of connecting and responding.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses symptoms that come from past harm by working carefully through memories, reactions, and coping skills. It aims to reduce post-traumatic stress and help people regain control over their everyday lives.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that match their goals, comfort level, and what they want to change. That collaboration helps shape a plan that may include short-term solution work, skill practice, or deeper trauma-focused work depending on need.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief updates, tracking progress, or when typing feels more natural. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, and other commitments.
