About Catherine
Catherine Hogan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, trauma, family problems, self-esteem struggles, and ADHD. Her practice also addresses caregiver strain, grief and end-of-life concerns, and the lasting effects of domestic violence and codependency.
She tends to focus on practical, day-to-day changes rather than abstract ideas. Sessions often include talking through current problems, clarifying what matters most, and trying small experiments between meetings. The aim is to reduce overwhelming symptoms like panic attacks and social withdrawal so people can handle ordinary life more easily.
Catherine often helps people untangle family-of-origin issues and communication problems that keep recurring at home. She also supports those facing divorce or separation, and people caring for someone who is ill or nearing end-of-life. She discusses spiritual and faith concerns when they matter to the person in front of her.
Her style is collaborative and grounded in approaches that are supported by research. She listens for patterns that fuel shame, isolation, and guilt, and works with clients to interrupt those patterns. The focus is on noticeably different days, not on labels or jargon.
People who choose her typically want steady, experienced guidance and clear steps to try between sessions. To begin, the site’s process asks you to answer a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online care
Many of the methods Catherine uses are drawn from evidence-based therapeutic techniques. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behavior that keep anxiety and panic going; this helps people build skills to manage panic attacks and reduce avoidance. Another approach emphasizes processing the impact of traumatic experiences so memories and reactions become less disruptive; this can reduce hypervigilance and intrusive reminders.Choosing the right technique is a collaborative process. The therapist and client look at current goals, symptoms, and life demands and then decide together which methods to try first. Adjustments are made over time based on what helps in daily life.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. In general, remote sessions can help fit therapy into busy schedules, make it easier to attend from home or work breaks, and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s day. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework to an online setting so progress continues between meetings.
