Getting to know Olivia De Santos
Olivia De Santos is a Mental Health Counselor who takes a relational and flexible approach to therapy. She recognizes that everyone approaches therapy differently, and that figuring out what to talk about or where to begin can sometimes be the hardest part. Olivia brings warmth and curiosity into her work, taking time to build trust and develop relationships where clients feel comfortable opening up and being themselves.
Olivia's approach is collaborative and centered around each person's individual needs. She draws from evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while recognizing that therapy doesn't need to follow the same structure for everyone. She enjoys helping clients understand their emotions and experiences, recognize patterns, and develop practical skills they can carry into everyday life. She also values giving clients an active role in shaping their sessions, allowing their priorities and preferences to guide the process. Whether through conversation or more creative and interactive approaches, Olivia adapts her work to what feels most helpful for each client.
Olivia works with older adolescents and adults and has experience supporting individuals with anxiety, relationship challenges, and neurodevelopmental differences. She earned her Master of Science in Education in Mental Health Counseling from Fordham University and her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Loyola University New Orleans. Her previous experience providing therapy in an integrated pediatric primary care setting allowed her to work closely with families, schools, and medical providers, shaping her appreciation for understanding clients within the broader context of their lives.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I would describe my style as warm, conversational, and collaborative. I want therapy to feel like a space where clients can show up as themselves. I recognize that starting therapy can feel intimidating, so I strive to create an environment that feels approachable and genuine. I often remind clients that simply showing up is already a meaningful step toward improving their well-being. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is very important to me because I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel comfortable, supported, and understood. I want my clients to know that I'm on their team, and that we'll work through challenges together at a pace that feels right for them.
I tend to balance listening and providing practical tools. Some clients come in needing space to process what's on their mind, while others want concrete strategies they can use between sessions. I enjoy helping clients better understand their emotions, identify patterns in their thoughts and behaviors, and build coping skills that feel realistic for their everyday lives.
