About Olimpia
Olimpia keeps her style direct, caring, and interactive. She listens closely, helps people name what matters, and works with each person to set clear, practical goals. Sessions focus on steps people can try between meetings so progress is measurable.
Her approach blends methods rather than following a single technique. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness and existential ideas help with meaning, values, and staying present when life feels uncertain.
Olimpia also draws on psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused elements guide short-term problem solving when immediate relief is needed. The result is a tailored plan that fits the person in front of her, not a one-size-fits-all program.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. People come with their own goals and she helps design a path toward them. If someone is ready to begin, she asks that they complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to get started.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, concrete steps toward them. It is useful for coping with life changes, midlife questions, and ongoing worry. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments to reduce anxiety, depression, and patterns that hold someone back. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention skills that reduce reactivity and improve sleep, focus, and stress management.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with each person about their goals and try methods that fit their needs. That collaboration means the plan can change over time based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a busy life. It can also allow shorter check-ins, flexible timing around work, or options that reduce travel time. Ask about current session options when you complete the matching questionnaire so you can choose what fits your routine.
