About Olimpia

Olimpia Calaway is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Texas who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She works with people facing ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Olimpia speaks English and Spanish and brings five years of counseling experience to her practice.

Her style is direct, caring, and interactive. Sessions are practical and focused on real-life change.

Background and approach

She treats each person with compassion and respect while offering clear guidance and tools to try between meetings. Olimpia uses an eclectic mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She combines skills from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness with acceptance-based ideas and deeper psychodynamic exploration when useful.

The goal is to create a plan that fits the problem and the person, not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Work in sessions often includes learning concrete coping skills, noticing and changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing present-moment awareness, and talking through past patterns that still cause trouble. She also addresses practical parenting concerns and life transitions with straightforward strategies.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances support with accountability. Olimpia frames therapy as a partnership aimed at helping people take steps toward a more manageable and satisfying life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and stress by shifting attention from symptom elimination to meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with practical exercises and skill building; it is useful for anxiety, ADHD-related challenges, low mood, and many day-to-day problems. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with strong emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olimpia collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques from these approaches over time, checking in to see what is helping and what needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit consistent meetings into daily life and to practice skills between sessions. The variety of options lets people choose what feels most comfortable while still getting structured support and practical tools.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
