About Catherine
Catherine Hogan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with 30 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem problems, and ADHD. She also supports people dealing with caregiver strain, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin issues.
Her approach is straightforward and collaborative. Sessions focus on identifying patterns that begin in early family life and how those patterns play out now. She talks with clients about specific problems such as panic attacks, social anxiety, and isolation, and works on practical ways to reduce their impact.
Catherine incorporates evidence-based therapeutic techniques and aims to match methods to each person's needs. She respects faith and spirituality when these matter to clients and brings cultural sensitivity into conversations about values and beliefs. Her work includes supporting people facing domestic violence recovery and those coping with end-of-life and hospice concerns.
Meetings center on clear goals and step-by-step strategies rather than vague promises. She encourages people to name what they want to change, then to try concrete skills between sessions. Progress is measured by how life feels day to day and by improvements in relationships and daily functioning.
Catherine practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks you to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Catherine uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and improving daily functioning. One common approach is skills-based work that teaches practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic attacks, and stress. These strategies often include breathing and pacing techniques, behavioral experiments, and stepwise exposure to feared situations.Another approach emphasizes examining how family of origin patterns shape beliefs and behaviors today. This involves tracing recurring roles and expectations from early family life, naming the patterns, and practicing new ways of relating. That work can help with communication problems, codependency, and feelings of guilt or shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Catherine works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what’s helpful and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
