More about Olivia

- LICSW
I have worked as a social worker since 1985. I have worked as a therapist since 1989 in inpatient psychiatric settings and outpatient, including day hospital and rehab programs in the VA system with veterans and in hospice. I have worked with all populations from children to geriatrics, including childcare worker at an emergency shelter for children , and DHHR-CPS worker, to therapist for seniors from inpatient to outpatient. Becoming a therapist is a humbling experience and has taught me we all have struggles and life events that sometimes overwhelm us. My clients have included those with eating disorders, severe mental health diagnoses, trauma clients, those with depression and anxiety, those dealing with life changes such as physical loss or the loss of a loved one, including pets.
My toolbox includes using Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and Mindfulness skills.
One of the 10 elements of mental health recovery is support. We all need support, both formal and informal. I am here if you need formal support from a therapist.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

She's a great therapist. I'm not leaving just canceling the billing
Great listener, supportive and provides useful tools to help with my mental health goals.
I was stubborn to trying Betterhelp as it can be a bit expensive paying monthly rather than weekly but I'm so thankful I did. I was assigned to Olivia and she is wonderful. She understands my struggles and challenges me to rethink my narrative. Most therapists I've ever had just listen. No one ever took the time to ask me to dissect my thoughts and that is fantastic. I still feel like giving up regularly but every so often I'm able to remind myself that maybe there is hope. Maybe one day I will feel better. Maybe. I have Olivia to thank for that.
She is very thorough and pays attention to what I say. She asks lots of questions
