Catherine HoganLICSW

Catherine Hogan is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 30 years of clinical experience. She focuses on supporting people who are facing stress, anxiety, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem. Catherine aims to create a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through hard moments and find practical ways forward.

She has a long record of helping people with isolation, social anxiety, panic attacks, and post-traumatic stress. She also assists those recovering from domestic violence, working through codependency, and untangling family-of-origin problems. Catherine’s practice includes support around postpartum depression and other pregnancy and childbirth related concerns.

She makes room for conversations about faith and spirituality when those subjects matter to a person’s healing. Catherine describes her style as collaborative - she listens first, then suggests steps that fit a person’s life and values. Her approach is rooted in evidence-based therapeutic techniques applied in ways that feel understandable and doable.

Clients can expect straightforward talk, reflection, and practical skills aimed at easing distress and improving day-to-day functioning. Catherine also provides counseling focused on end-of-life concerns and hospice-related stress for people and caregivers facing those transitions.

She practices in Washington and works in English. The LICSW credential stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, which is the professional credential she uses in practice.

How evidence-based techniques work in online therapy

Many of Catherine’s methods are evidence-based techniques that focus on practical steps and skills. One common approach she uses teaches breathing, grounding, and pacing tools to reduce panic and manage anxiety symptoms. These skills are taught in short, repeatable practices that clients can use between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes working through trauma and difficult memories with careful pacing and support. The work typically involves talking through experiences, building skills to tolerate strong feelings, and developing safety and routine in daily life. This kind of work can help with post-traumatic stress and recovery after domestic violence.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose techniques that match goals, values, and what feels manageable. Sessions evolve as progress is made and priorities change, with regular check-ins about what is or isn’t helpful.

Please confirm current session options before booking since specific formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow check-ins from home or work when schedules allow. It can also make shorter, focused sessions possible for quick skill practice or a brief emotional check-in.
