Josephine Olson

Josephine uses a blend of approaches to help clients find tools that fit their lives. She describes a straightforward, empathetic style in sessions.

Conversations aim to identify what feels most overwhelming and to build small, doable steps toward relief. Josephine listens for patterns tied to attachment, codependency, or abandonment and then helps people test new ways of coping.

Her background includes work with trauma and abuse, addiction, grief, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, and self-harm. She also addresses parenting strain, family problems, career stress, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

That range means she often focuses on symptom management alongside relationship and emotional work. Josephine draws on methods that center emotional connection and present-moment change.

She uses tools from the Gottman Method and attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns. She also incorporates client-centered skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach coping strategies.

People who do best with her approach are looking for practical techniques plus space to talk through painful experiences. Sessions move at the client’s pace and prioritize clarity about next steps.

Josephine works with English-speaking clients and sees people from across Virginia and beyond.
