About Olivia

Olivia Holiday is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 12 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, eating concerns, and life changes. She also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, ADHD, and questions about identity.

Her work aims to be practical and down to earth for busy parents and caregivers. Olivia uses a mix of approaches to fit each person she sees.

Background and approach

She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness tools to build everyday coping skills. Sessions include clear strategies for managing difficult thoughts, regulating emotions, and strengthening day-to-day routines. Her counseling style is collaborative and client-centered.

She helps clients set goals, practice skills, and notice what works in their lives. The focus is on skill building, self-knowledge, and creating balance rather than on long theoretical conversations. Olivia works with people across many concerns including parenting, family issues, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and fertility-related stress.

She also addresses mood disorders, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife transitions. She is licensed in Ohio with the credential LPCC and brings practical tools and compassionate listening to sessions. Olivia asks questions, listens closely, and helps people make a plan they can use between sessions.

Approaches and online options that fit family life

Olivia commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and replacing them with clearer, more helpful ones. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and many day-to-day stresses. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship strain. It includes practical exercises to use between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Olivia treats the process as collaborative - she will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs and routine. Together they decide which strategies to keep and which to adapt for family life and parenting demands.

Online therapy lets parents and busy adults access care without traveling. Sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules. These options make it easier to practice skills at home, keep up with therapy between appointments, and fit sessions around caregiving and work responsibilities.

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.
