More about Olita

- LCSW-R
As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice focuses on helping clients navigate issues like depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and interpersonal dynamics with compassionate, personalized care.
I bring deep expertise in addressing a wide range of concerns, including workplace stress, relationship difficulties, caregiver burnout, and midlife transitions. My approach is holistic and client-centered, designed to help individuals develop stronger self-understanding, communication skills, and emotional resilience.
Drawing from extensive clinical experience, I work collaboratively with clients to explore underlying patterns, build coping strategies, and create meaningful pathways toward personal growth. Whether you're struggling with social anxiety, life purpose questions, or navigating significant life changes, I'm committed to providing supportive, non-judgmental guidance.
My therapeutic style emphasizes empowerment, self-compassion, and practical strategies tailored to your unique experiences and goals. Together, we can work toward healing, understanding, and positive transformation.
My approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-focused, helping clients clarify what matters most to them and apply CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) evidence-based tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and chain analysis. In my ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) work, I teach skills such as mindfulness, defusion from unhelpful thoughts, values clarification, and committed action, so clients can respond more flexibly to life’s challenges and build lives aligned with their core values. I value respect, empowerment, and cultural responsiveness, and I ensure therapy is trauma-informed and personally relevant. With over a decade of experience supporting clients and training future therapists, I bring clarity, empathy, and adaptability to my work, with the ultimate goal of helping people reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and live more meaningful lives.

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.
