About Olivia

Olivia Gordon is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oklahoma with four years of experience. She works with adults facing addictions, relationship problems, family concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, and depression. Olivia also addresses related themes such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, and body image concerns.

Her style is direct and grounded. She uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people improve communication and repair strained connections. Sessions include conversations about patterns that keep people stuck and ways to change small habits that make a difference over time.

Olivia integrates a Christian-informed perspective when clients want that context. She respects each person’s background and beliefs while focusing on what a client wants to change. That can mean working on boundaries, rebuilding trust, or managing strong emotions tied to past events.

Therapeutically she draws on methods like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based work, cognitive behavioral techniques, and skills from dialectical behavior approaches. These tools are used to increase awareness, reduce unhelpful reactions, and build practical coping strategies.

People often come to her with guilt or shame connected to relationships, trauma, or addictions. In sessions she helps name those feelings, look at the behaviors that follow, and practice new ways of responding. To begin, clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How her therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take values-based actions even when painful feelings appear. It can help with shame by shifting attention from fighting feelings to choosing meaningful steps forward. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and trust. It helps when guilt or shame come from attachment wounds by identifying repeating dynamics and practicing new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Olivia will collaborate with clients to decide which methods to use based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting techniques, and combining approaches when useful so the work fits each person.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also let people choose whether to use video or other supported formats based on what feels most manageable for them.
