Did you grow up being the “strong” one or feel like you had to grow up too fast? Many of the clients I work with carry anxiety, feel constantly on edge, or find themselves stuck in difficult relationship patterns as a result of earlier experiences. If this sounds familiar, hi, I’m Olivia, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health and an MSW from IUPUI. I work with teens (12+) and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, and relationship challenges, providing a warm but honest space to explore these patterns and build practical tools for lasting change.
During our first session, we’ll get to know each other and talk about what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions to understand your goals, challenges, and strengths. My goal is to create a supportive, collaborative space where you feel heard and understood from the very beginning.
I bring warmth, curiosity, honesty, and a little humor into my sessions. I want therapy to feel comfortable and human, while still being a place where meaningful work happens. I’m good at noticing patterns, asking questions that help us dig a little deeper, and connecting what we talk about in session to what is actually happening in your everyday life. I’ll validate and support you, but I’ll also gently challenge you when I notice something that might be keeping you stuck. Most importantly, I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I take the time to understand you, your experiences, and what you actually need from me. Some sessions might involve learning a new skill or exploring a pattern, while others might simply be a place to process a really hard week. We’ll figure out what works for you together.

CBT has been a foundation of my work since I began providing therapy in 2022. I use it to help clients notice the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and recognize patterns that may be making life harder without them even realizing it. In sessions, we might slow down and look at the thoughts that immediately show up in certain situations, question whether those thoughts are actually giving you the full picture, or work on changing behaviors that keep you stuck in the same cycle. I’ve used CBT with concerns like anxiety, depression, life transitions, and everyday stress. I don’t believe therapy should turn into constantly correcting your thoughts or trying to convince yourself that everything is fine. We’ll use CBT in a way that makes sense for you, focusing on the patterns that are actually affecting your life and building practical ways to respond differently.
I incorporate Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into my work and have completed a 15-hour ACT certificate program to further develop my skills in this approach. A big part of ACT is recognizing that difficult thoughts and feelings are part of being human. Instead of spending all of our energy trying to get rid of them, we can learn how to make room for them without letting them run the show. In sessions, we might explore thoughts you tend to get stuck in, things you’ve been avoiding because they feel uncomfortable, or ways to step back from the stories your brain tells you. We’ll also spend time figuring out what actually matters to you, not what you *should* care about, but what you want your life to look and feel like. From there, we can work on taking realistic steps toward that life, even when anxiety, fear, self-doubt, or other uncomfortable feelings decide to come along for the ride.
Trauma-informed care is at the foundation of how I approach therapy, and I continue to pursue additional training in this area. I recognize that past experiences can shape how we respond to the world, our relationships, and ourselves, sometimes in ways that made perfect sense when those patterns first developed but may not be serving us anymore. I don’t view trauma responses as something “wrong” with you. Often, they’re ways your mind and body learned to protect you. Therapy can be a place to understand those responses with curiosity rather than judgment and, when you’re ready, begin building new ways of responding. Throughout our work, I prioritize your sense of safety, choice, and control. You get a say in where we go, how quickly we get there, and what you are or aren’t ready to explore. My goal is never to push you into talking about something simply because it’s there, we can do meaningful work while respecting your boundaries and moving at a pace that feels manageable.
Attachment work is one of my favorite parts of therapy. Clients don’t always come to me because they want to work on their attachment style, in fact, they usually come in for something else entirely. But as we start noticing patterns in relationships, we often find ourselves asking questions like: Why do I get so anxious when someone pulls away? Why do I shut down when someone gets too close? Why do I keep ending up in the same relationship dynamics? That’s where attachment work can be incredibly helpful. I help clients identify and understand their attachment style, including using an attachment assessment when it would be useful. From there, we can explore how those patterns developed, how they’re showing up in your relationships now, and what it might look like to respond differently. Depending on what works best for you, we can keep this conversational or get more structured. I have a variety of workbooks, activities, and psychoeducation we can pull from along the way. I’ll also pay attention to how attachment patterns may show up in therapy itself and gently name what I notice. The goal isn’t to achieve a “perfect” attachment style, it’s to understand yourself well enough that old patterns don’t automatically get to make your decisions for you.
I believe you are the expert on your own life. I may bring clinical knowledge, tools, and an outside perspective to the room, but you will always know yourself better than I do. My job isn’t to tell you what your life should look like, it’s to help you understand yourself, explore your options, and notice things that may be harder to see from the inside. That doesn’t mean I’ll never challenge you. If I notice something that concerns me or a pattern that might be worth exploring, I’ll bring it up, but with curiosity rather than assuming I have the whole picture. You’ll often hear me say something like, “Here’s what I’m noticing, but tell me if I’m getting this wrong.” I also believe therapy should be flexible because people are flexible. A treatment plan isn’t a contract. If we decide something is important and three weeks later it no longer feels relevant, we can change direction. If you initially want to process something but realize you’re not ready, I’m not going to force you there. I think of clients as the authors of their own stories. I’m the editor beside you, helping you make sense of what’s on the page, asking questions, and occasionally pointing out when some complete nonsense is about to make it into the final draft.

I've only had the one session so far but Olivia seems very open and caring and warm. She is very attentive and picked up on several things without me even having to say something first. I very much look forward to my future sessions with her.

I like Olivia because she has a very “about the client” mindset. She offers advice while also being open to trying your opinions out first!
