About Olivia

Olivia Cornwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, supportive therapy for people facing family and parenting challenges. She centers sessions on each person's needs and helps them find clearer ways to cope. Olivia brings calm, direct support and works to build trust so people can talk honestly about hard things.

She has six years of social work experience in outpatient, inpatient, and school settings. That background means she has worked with anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and many family and relationship problems.

Background and approach

She also supports people dealing with grief, parenting strain, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Olivia uses a client-centered approach, which means sessions follow the client’s priorities and pace. She combines that with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking patterns.

She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices to help manage intense emotions. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care concerns, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, body image, eating-related issues, and family of origin problems. Olivia aims to offer clear, doable strategies rather than jargon-filled talk.

Sessions have been provided both in person and online across different settings. Olivia wants to meet people where they are, helping them shift small, meaningful patterns that improve daily life and relationships.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Olivia blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people manage family and parenting stresses. Client-centered therapy starts with the client's priorities and creates a space where goals come from the person's real life needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting and changing thoughts and actions that maintain anxiety or low mood, which can be useful for daily parenting challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete skills for emotion regulation and communication, helping in heated family situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Olivia will listen to your goals and try different tools together to see what fits. She tailors the mix of listening, practical skills, and problem-solving based on what the person and their family actually need.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family schedules. Sessions can be done by video call or phone when face-to-face time is hard to arrange. Live chat and text-based messaging also let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused support when needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into parenting and work routines while still working on concrete skills and changes.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
