About Olivia
Olivia Cornwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical, person-focused therapy. She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, loss, and relationship or family concerns. Olivia emphasizes straightforward support and clear steps people can use between sessions.
She has six years of social work experience across outpatient, inpatient, and school settings. That background means she has helped people with mood concerns like depression and bipolar, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image struggles, and parenting and adoption-related issues.
Background and approach
She also supports people navigating career strain, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Olivia uses a client-centered style, which means sessions start with what is most important to the person. She combines that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and change patterns of thinking and behavior.
She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotion regulation and stress management. Sessions have been delivered in individual and group formats, both in-person and online. Olivia works with people on communication problems, attachment concerns, codependency, and family-of-origin issues, tailoring the approach to each person’s goals.
She describes therapy as a collaborative process focused on practical steps and steady progress. People who choose Olivia can expect a warm, down-to-earth therapist who values clear goals and usable tools. She is based in Utah and conducts sessions in English for adults seeking support with a wide range of life and mental health challenges.
How therapy approaches translate to online sessions
Olivia blends client-centered work with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills in online sessions. Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and builds a collaborative plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and build new behavior patterns to reduce anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and practicing better interpersonal skills.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Olivia will talk with each person about their goals, needs, and preferences, then shape sessions to match. The plan can shift over time as progress and priorities change, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing skill reminders between longer sessions. These options make it easier to weave therapy into a busy life while using the same clinical approaches one would expect in person.
