About Dr. Brandon Olive

Therapeutic Approaches and How They Translate to Online Care
Dr. Olive integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in ways that adapt well to remote sessions. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients explore values, identity, and personal goals while feeling heard and respected. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and working on practical strategies to change thinking and behavior, which can be practiced and reinforced between sessions.
He also brings trauma-focused techniques into care for those coping with past or recent traumatic experiences, using structured approaches to process difficult memories and reduce their impact on daily functioning. Determining which approach or combination of approaches is most appropriate is a collaborative process - Dr. Olive works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to adjust methods as progress unfolds.
Online therapy can make these approaches more accessible by offering flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats allow licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into busy schedules, and support different comfort levels with remote communication, while preserving the ability to use research-based techniques effectively.
