About me

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.
