I am a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Supervisory endorsement. I have over 14 years experience working as a therapist. My focus has been on working with teens, young adults, individuals and families to address a wide variety of concerns related to anxiety, depression, self esteem, parenting, life choices, changes and times of transitions and family issues. I work with my clients to identify and respect where they are and where they would like to go. My style is based on cognitive behavioral therapy and focuses on a strength based, solution oriented approach. My goal is to create an atmosphere where you feel comfortable and listened to and see value in our time together. Thank you so much for reaching out and seeking support.

Olivia Holiday
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor in Ohio with 12 years of experience working with clients of all ages. I am trained in cognitive behavior therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, sensory approaches, and narrative therapy. I also teach radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RODBT) for overcontrolled clients. I enjoy helping individuals with depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship difficulties, ADHD, and OCD. My counseling philosophy is integrative, meaning I tailor my approach to each individual’s needs and preferences, as well as collaborative, meaning we will work together to pinpoint areas for growth and formulate a plan to improve. I emphasize skill-building, self-knowledge, and balance. It is my belief that each individual holds within them the tools they need to live a purposeful, rewarding life. It is my job to help facilitate the process of discovering these tools and help you to utilize them to effect lasting positive change. My practice hours are typically 3 weekday evenings per week, as well as some appointment availability on Saturdays and Sundays. I can generally respond to messages at least once per day, typically in the afternoon/evening time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away! I look forward to completing this journey with you. Let’s get started!
