About Olivia
Olivia Cornwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on helping people manage anxiety and stress. She uses a practical, person-first approach so clients can feel heard and start making changes that fit their lives. She has six years of experience as a social worker.
During that time she has provided individual and group work in outpatient clinics, inpatient settings, and schools. That range has shaped a down-to-earth style that aims to meet people where they are.
Background and approach
Olivia favors client-centered care, which means sessions follow the client's priorities. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help with unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Dialectical behavior skills and mindfulness practices are used to build emotion regulation and present-moment focus.
She has worked with people facing anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family problems, eating concerns, and career or life transitions. Additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image, and codependency among others. Olivia aims to create a calm, collaborative space where people can talk through what matters most.
She offers support in English and provides sessions online by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that fits.
Therapeutic approaches for online anxiety and stress work
Olivia uses client-centered therapy to make sessions follow each person's goals and priorities. This approach focuses on listening, validating experience, and helping people decide what change looks like for them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that feed anxiety and low mood. CBT is practical and often includes clear steps or experiments to test new ways of thinking.
Dialectical behavior therapy skills are another tool she draws on, especially when emotion regulation, distress tolerance, or interpersonal effectiveness are needed. DBT-based skills teach breathing, grounding, and communication techniques that can be practiced between sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Olivia will work with each person to pick strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets people send thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work goal-focused and practical.
