My name is Olivia Sanchez, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor (LPC-S) with 17 years of experience in the state of Texas. I received a Master’s in Community Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio in 2005.
As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situation of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.
By applying complementary therapeutic approaches and techniques, we will unearth long standing behavioral patterns or negate perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you’re ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.
My career in counseling started addressing child victims of crimes where I addressed various issues from physical and sexual abuse, self-mutilation, and substance abuse.
I later began working in long term health care facilities where I gained expertise in personality, adjustment, mood, thought and neurocognitive disorder such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s as well as end of life issues.
In private practice I acquired strong short-term Solution-Focused Brief Therapy skills as well as Long Term Therapy skills counseling various populations on issues of depression, anxiety, substance abuse, marital/couples, end of life and psychotic disorders.
I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a trauma based treatment to addressing more intense issues that may be needed for trauma that has caused Post Traumatic Stress Disorder PTSD) or other various psychological conditions promoted by traumatic events.
I look forward to assisting you achieve your psychological goals.

I am surprised by how much I am enjoying counseling through an online service. The system helps me have a journal that can be shared with my counselor. It has an easy booking process. And I like the ease of doing everything from home. I also like that my therapist is in my area. I am really happy to be in counseling and have it be so easy and effective.

Olivia does a great job of providing an outside perspective to help me sort through my negative thoughts and reframe them in a positive light. I just started and have a long way to go, but I've felt comfortable with Olivia since the start.

I've been meeting with Olivia for a few months now. I'll admit that I was very nervous at the beginning. It was a big step for me, but Olivia made me feel comfortable and relaxed immediately.

We haven't worked together much so far, but I am incredibly looking forward to continuing my conversation with her. I have wanted to have regular sessions with a counselor for years now and I am so fortunate to have been assigned to her. I think she has given me good pointers in a time of crisis and we have made strides holding me to them together. I'm looking forward to more conversations.

Olivia is so wonderful and supportive. I came to her in a time of great need and she is helping me address several issues going on in my life simultaneously. I can tell she sincerely cares about me and my well-being. I also like that she doesn't try to push any decision on me, she just helps me figure out possible ways to handle a situation and then reminds me that at the end of the day it is MY decision alone to make. Great counselor.
