Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway, LMHC

Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway offers calm, direct support for people stuck in repeating patterns. She helps clients understand why feelings and actions conflict, and how those patterns developed. The first steps are clarity and simple, practical changes that reduce overwhelm and create breathing room. Kat brings 26 years of experience to work around compulsive sexual behaviors, sexual addiction, betrayal trauma, and sexual dysfunction. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, addiction, dissociation, and career or parenting stress. Her work emphasizes both emotions and bodily experience so healing can feel more complete. Her sessions combine straightforward conversation with somatic approaches that pay attention to bodily sensations. This helps when emotional pain shows up as tension, sleep disruption, or sudden waves of feeling. She focuses on uncovering the root of repeating behavior rather than only addressing surface symptoms. The therapy style is grounded and compassionate, with clear interventions to help people move out of survival mode. Clients are encouraged to notice patterns, practice different choices, and build skills for emotional regulation. Progress often looks like fewer automatic reactions and more intentional living. Kat invites people to treat themselves with curiosity rather than blame. She aims to make therapy a collaborative process where practical steps lead to deeper, lasting change.

Practical approaches for body and mind online

Dr. Holloway uses evidence-based techniques that include somatic-informed work and focused interventions for compulsive behaviors. Somatic-informed work pays attention to body sensations and how they hold stress or trauma; it can help when emotions show up as tension, sleep issues, or dissociation. Focused behavioral interventions look at patterns of acting and choosing, helping people interrupt automatic responses and build different habits. Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which techniques match a person's goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they will try strategies, track what helps, and adjust the plan as needed. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, since the biography does not list them.

It also lets people access licensed professionals who have specific experience with addictions, betrayal trauma, and intimacy issues without needing to change their daily routines.
