Getting to know Oliva Sanchez

Hi there, I'm Oliva! Hi! My name is Oliva Sanchez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Pasadena, CA, with over seven years of experience. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Northridge. I work with clients throughout California via telehealth. My approach My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I am passionate about supporting clients in their journey to healing, personal growth, and mental wellness. My therapy is person-centered and strengths-based, tailoring treatment to each client’s unique needs and goals. I use various modalities, including: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), helping clients reframe negative thoughts and develop healthier coping mechanisms; Trauma-Informed Care, ensuring a safe space for clients with trauma backgrounds to heal at their own pace; Mindfulness-Based Therapy, encouraging mindfulness to manage stress and anxiety; Family Systems Therapy, working with families to improve communication and resolve conflicts; and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping individuals live more fulfilling lives despite painful experiences. My focus My style fits young and older adults struggling with transitions and social and life stressors. Symptoms often manifest as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients navigate these periods and build skills to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook. My communication style My communication is accommodating, calm, and direct when needed. I provide a safe space for clients to talk openly without judgment. My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist because I have a strong desire to help people. I love seeing people overcome obstacles.
