Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway , LMHC

Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway is a Florida based Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 26 years of experience helping people understand why they feel and act the way they do. She pays close attention to the patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life, because those patterns often reveal the roots of distress rather than random fault. Her work frequently centers on men contending with compulsive sexual behaviors and sexual addiction, and on individuals coping with the aftermath of betrayal trauma.

Holloway incorporates somatic therapy into her practice, acknowledging that traumatic experiences and ingrained coping strategies are stored in the body as well as the mind. By including bodily awareness and gentle, embodied interventions, she aims for deeper, longer lasting change that complements talk based work. Her manner is direct and grounded while remaining compassionate, offering clear guidance to help clients move from survival mode into a life that feels more authentic and manageable.

Across decades of practice she has supported people through addiction recovery, trauma and relationship rupture, overwhelming emotions, dissociation, and entrenched behavioral patterns. She approaches each case by looking beneath surface symptoms to the deeper causes, and she works with clients to build clarity, resilience, and practical strategies for healing. She is honored to walk alongside people through that process.

Somatic and Trauma-Informed Support Online

Dr. Katarzyna (Kat) Holloway integrates somatic therapy into her online practice, which means she attends to body sensations, breath, and movement as part of healing. This approach can help when trauma, anxiety, or compulsive behaviors are accompanied by physical tension, sleep disruption, or a sense of being disconnected from the body. It supports clients in learning to regulate physiological responses and access more grounded states.

She also uses trauma informed approaches that focus on safety, pacing, and making sense of how past betrayals or ruptures shape current relationships and choices. These methods help people move from reactive survival patterns toward clearer decision making and healthier connections. Selection of techniques is collaborative - the therapist and client work together to identify which methods fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and they adjust as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for this work. Video calls allow real time observation of affect and movement, phone sessions provide an accessible option when video is not possible, and live chat or text based messaging can support ongoing processing between sessions. These formats make it easier for clients to engage consistently while fitting therapy into busy or geographically dispersed lives.
