Oliver Harper, LPC

Oliver Harper is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 22 years of experience. He works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, addiction, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, grief, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar disorder. He also addresses ADHD, intimacy-related struggles, anger, self-esteem, and career concerns.

Harper trained at Georgia State University, earning an MS in Professional Counseling, and has additional graduate study in leadership, apologetics, and seminary work in Atlanta. He has worked in residential settings for adolescents, in short-term acute care as a clinician and consultant for adults and adolescents, and provided in-home therapy across Metro Atlanta. He also ran a private practice for 15 years and has authored two books.

In practice he favors practical, skills-based work. He uses Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy as a primary approach to reduce stress and anxiety and to teach tools for more effective daily living. He also draws on attachment-focused ideas, dialectical skills, cognitive techniques, the Gottman Method for relationship concerns, and Jungian perspectives when they fit the situation.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations that connect present-day patterns to family of origin experiences when relevant. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, learning coping skills, and testing new ways of relating. Harper also integrates ideas from Stoic philosophy to support clearer thinking and steady action.

He reports substantial experience working with people affected by childhood disruption, family dysfunction, and trauma, and he applies interventions aimed at addressing their ongoing effects. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
