ArinNaia Olson

ArinNaia Olson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and questions about life direction and purpose. She also supports those dealing with trauma or abuse, addiction, sleep and eating concerns, and challenges around parenting and career shifts.

Her background includes work with a wide range of emotional and behavioral issues. She uses approaches that focus on the person in front of her and on meaning in life. Sessions involve talking through patterns, noticing felt responses, and trying practical steps that fit day-to-day life. EMDR and hypnotherapy are among the tools she lists for trauma-related work.

Clients can expect conversational sessions that focus on what matters now. ArinNaia describes herself as person-centered and values exploring what gives someone’s life meaning. She aims to help people sort through overwhelm and make clearer decisions about work, relationships, and personal priorities.

She also attends to issues tied to attachment, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, codependency, and family of origin difficulties. These topics often come up alongside more common concerns like low self-esteem or difficulty coping with change.

Practical problem-solving and reflective conversation are both part of her work. She typically collaborates with clients to set goals and try approaches that can be adjusted over time. To begin, users follow the site’s matching and scheduling steps to arrange a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values, feel heard, and make small decisions about work, relationships, or daily routines. Existential Therapy looks at meaning, purpose, and how someone wants to shape their life. It supports people who are questioning what comes next after a major change or loss and helps them weigh choices against their own values.

ArinNaia also lists Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work. EMDR involves structured memory processing aimed at reducing the intensity of traumatic memories and their emotional impact. It is often used when past events continue to affect current functioning and relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences and adjust the plan over time. That process is collaborative and based on what the client says helps most.

Session formats are not specified in her biography here, so confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs because they can avoid travel and schedule sessions during a shorter break. Others prefer an approach that includes brief check-ins or longer focused sessions; these choices can be discussed when arranging the first appointment.
