More about Octavia

  • 6 years' experience
  • Female
  • LPC

I have been working in the mental health field for 6 years. I have a Master's Degree in Clinical Psychology. I chose a career in mental health to assist others in maintaining a mentally healthy lifestyle. I have worked with children and adults who have symptoms of ADHD, anxiety, behavior disorders, depression, parenting problems, social issues, and more. I also work with military service members and their families when experiencing challenging times. My counseling style is warm and engaging. My treatment approach is that of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). However, every client is different; therefore, each treatment plan is tailored to accommodate the individual client's needs. I believe that it is important for individuals to understand the root of their issues and understand methods to recognize triggers, provide coping strategies, and allow them to see how their perspectives shape their view of the world. When changing their view, they positively change their behaviors.

Whether you seek change for a healthier, happier life or need a non-judgmental party, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to meeting and working with you.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Reviewed April 2023

I'm really glad that I was connected with Octavia thruough Betterhelp. She has a way of helping me to connect the dots when I feel like I'm actually wasting a session. My last session we were talking about exercize and eating. For a moment I felt like this is not why I'm in therapy. But before I said that, I connected the dots. What she was steering me to figure out was actually exactly what I struggle with. Accountability and Mindfulness. I mentioned this entire statement to her and she said, you just nailed it, everything in our lives ties together. What you think you satruggle with in only one aspect of your life really can affect many other parts. She was so right. I would recommend Octavia to anyone. I feel more comfortable with her than any other in person therapist ever.

I loved Octavia's approach to therapy. She started sessions by asking me to describe my feelings that day, and for me that made me introspect immediately and start thinking about my feelings and my needs. I really appreciated her patience and the healing advice she's given me. Her affirmations helped me grow and see the positive in myself.

I feel so lucky to have Octavia as a therapist. I was shocked that the website matched so on point, the first try. She has been very helpful to me.

Reviewed December 2022

Octavia is amazing. My connection with her way greater than I ever would have expected, better than face to face with a therapist in their office that I was previously working with. I feel more like I'm talking to a friend than a therapist. Yet she is still guiding me, and I am feeling like I've advanced so much since I have started working with Octavia. Octavia is inspiring, kind, and just knows her stuff (for lack of a better word.) I'd recommend her to anyone.

Octavia understands what I’m going through. I continually give her more information and insight to my life so she can paint a better picture of me and help point me in the direction I desire to be headed. I’m glad I was connected to her. I thought face to face in a room would be best, but even a continent away, she is helping me to see what I need to do for me to be the best version of myself.

Octávia is aan empathetic, warm and caring counselor who expertly uses examples from her own life to put your own experience into perspective. She is wise and gives very useful practical tips to address every day challenges. Our sessions feel effortless but I always leave with concrete strategies and tactics that I can immediately implement in my life. She also always follows up with a short summary of the most important things we discussed, which is very helpful to keep accountability! Would highly recommend!

Octavia is a great resource and creates specific action plans based on your sessions which I think was invaluable, sometimes therapy feels like you're just talking and paying someone to listen BUT not with her - I felt like I was sitting with an expert that loves what she does and was sharing actual tools I can use to work toward my goals. Very grateful for her!
