My name is Josie Olson and I am a counselor with over 15 years of experience and am privileged to offer quality care to diverse children and families representing communities across Virginia. As a Registered Play Therapy- Supervisor, EMDRIA level 2 trained professional, and a Nationally Certified Dialectical Behavioral Therapist, I have the opportunity to employ evidence-based intervention skills to foster lasting change in children, adolescents, young adults, and their families promoting wellness and optimal functioning. I also treat many generational trauma related disorders and difficulties; my training as a Certified Traumatologist has inspired me to infuse trauma-sensitive principles into my interventions, promoting healing and resilience in my counseling. As a Christian counselor, I also integrate biblical principles to foster grace and truth into my practice.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
