How Dr. Olive’s approaches translate to online care

Dr. Olive often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT breaks problems into manageable steps and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive concerns.

He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting each person where they are. That approach helps when people need a calm space to sort through feelings and priorities.

The choice of approach is collaborative. The therapist and client discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then try methods that match those needs. Adjustments are made together as progress is reviewed.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer-focused work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, coaching between sessions, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help people fit therapy into busy lives.
