About Olivia

Olivia Gordon is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Oklahoma with four years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship struggles, family-of-origin patterns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, and depression. Olivia also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, adoption and foster care matters, and caregiver stress.

She frames work through a Christian-informed perspective while using evidence-based methods. Olivia aims to help people improve communication, set clearer boundaries, and notice the ways early family roles still affect current behavior. Sessions focus on concrete steps people can use between meetings to test new ways of interacting.

Olivia draws on several therapy approaches to match what each person needs. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and commit to actions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking patterns, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relational patterns from childhood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills and client-centered listening are also part of her toolbox.

In practical terms she helps clients make small changes that affect day-to-day life. That might mean practicing new communication phrases, planning safer ways to manage urges, or experimenting with emotional regulation skills. She encourages measurable steps and regular check-ins to track progress.

People who come because old family patterns still show up in relationships will find work focused on understanding those patterns and testing new behaviors. The emphasis is on usable strategies, clearer boundaries, and improving how people relate to themselves and others.

Approaches used online and how they help

Olivia often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy alongside CBT in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking concrete steps toward those values despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It can help with depression, addiction challenges, and choices about relationships. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early family relationships shape current patterns. It helps people recognize repeating roles and make different relational choices.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative part of the first sessions. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what feels doable. They will try practical exercises and adjust methods if something isn’t helping, so the plan fits around real life and priorities.

Session format details were not specified in the original profile, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists use the same evidence-informed techniques online - practicing communication skills, planning behavioral experiments, and learning emotion regulation strategies - and then discuss what worked at the next meeting.
