Getting to know Olivia De Santos

Olivia De Santos is a Mental Health Counselor who brings a warm, personable, and collaborative approach to therapy. She creates a space where clients can feel comfortable, supported, and truly understood. Olivia believes therapy should feel like a genuine connection, where clients can show up as themselves and move at a pace that feels right for them. Olivia takes a client-centered approach and draws from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to support each client’s individual needs and goals. She focuses on helping clients better understand and identify their emotions, build insight into their experiences, and develop practical coping strategies that feel manageable in everyday life. Olivia has experience working with children, adolescents, and emerging adults, and also welcomes individuals across the lifespan. She supports clients navigating anxiety, depression, school-related challenges, family conflict, identity development, relationship concerns, and life transitions, and has experience working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD, Autism, and learning disabilities. With younger clients, she incorporates play and creative interventions to make therapy engaging and accessible. 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. Olivia has provided therapy in an integrated pediatric primary care setting, collaborating with families, schools, and medical providers to support each client’s overall well-being. Supplemental techniques Olivia may incorporate into sessions include mindfulness, grounding exercises, somatic awareness, and creative interventions such as art-based activities.

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.
