Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway, LMHC

Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway greets people who are puzzled by their feelings or actions. She identifies patterns that cause repeated pain, such as choosing unavailable partners, sleeplessness, overwhelming emotions, or wounds from betrayal. Kat writes plainly and listens for the story behind behavior so clients can begin to change what feels stuck.

Kat holds 26 years of clinical experience and is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. She focuses on addictions, betrayal trauma, compulsive sexual behaviors, and related intimacy concerns. Her work also addresses anxiety, depression, grief, career strain, ADHD, and compassion fatigue among other struggles.

Her practice brings the body into therapy through somatic methods, because trauma often shows up physically as well as mentally. Sessions often include attention to bodily signals alongside talk work to help clients feel more grounded and in control.

Kat describes her style as grounded, direct, and compassionate. She helps people move out of survival mode by clarifying patterns, identifying root causes, and building practical steps to change repeated behaviors. The aim is deeper, more sustainable healing rather than short-term fixes.

People who want a therapist who names patterns clearly and works with both body and mind may find her approach useful. Her invitation is straightforward: understand the pattern, and the next steps toward change become clearer.

Approaches that combine body awareness and practical change

Kat uses somatic-informed work to bring attention to how the body holds stress and trauma. This approach helps people notice physical reactions, learn calming strategies, and reconnect with sensations that support steadier emotional regulation. She also uses structured evidence-based techniques that focus on understanding patterns and building concrete coping skills to interrupt compulsive behaviors and manage anxiety or mood swings.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist discusses goals, life context, and preferences with each person and collaborates on which methods to try first. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually fits the person's needs and rhythm.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats before booking since formats were not listed in the biography. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce commute time, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or enable audio-only conversations when less bandwidth or a quieter setup is needed. Licensed professionals can often adapt pacing and homework to suit remote sessions while still focusing on body-based skills and pattern work.
