About Katherine
Katherine Holloway is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in Washington with 20 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem struggles.
She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness-based tools. Sessions focus on naming emotions, noticing patterns, and trying small changes that can alter how people relate to themselves and others. Katherine helps people set clear goals and build practical skills they can use between meetings.
Her background includes a degree in Conflict Management and Communication. That training shows up in how she supports clearer conversations and problem solving. She also uses elements of Trauma-Focused Therapy to address symptoms linked to past traumatic experiences.
In a session she typically works with clients to identify one or two manageable steps. Those steps might be a new way to respond in a difficult conversation, a relaxation practice, or a thought exercise to reduce anxiety. The focus is on useful, repeatable strategies that fit daily life.
She encourages straightforward communication about goals and progress. People who choose to work with her can expect a practical, emotionally-aware approach that aims to increase understanding and reduce daily distress.
How Katherine Uses EFT, CBT and Mindfulness Online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people name and track emotions that shape relationship and personal patterns. It focuses on feeling states and the patterns that follow so people can respond differently in important moments.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It offers practical exercises and short experiments to reduce anxiety and shift unhelpful reactions.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness. These practices can support stress management and calmer responding to triggers.
Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit the client's needs. Adjustments and new strategies can be introduced as progress is evaluated.
