Olivia Outlund, MSW, LMSW, 

about

Clinical Social worker

Hi, I’m Olivia!

I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker who received my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Iowa. I have counseled individuals in a variety of settings on adjustment issues, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, grief, and various other mental health concerns. I am also certified in suicide intervention by Living Works and rape victim advocacy by RVAP.

 

In addition to my work, I love animals, live performances, reading, and baking treats for others!

My Approach to Therapy

My practice is based on the belief that everyone should have access to a trained counselor who greets them with unconditional positive regard and creates a nonjudgmental space to collaborate. I aim to empower you to grow while working toward your goals and build upon the resilience and strengths you have already cultivated throughout your life. In our collaboration, I see you as the expert on your life, whereas I bring knowledge of evidence-based tools that provide you with techniques to enhance insight, self-awareness, and coping strategies concerning your therapeutic goals. 

My work up to this point has been a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and interventions that incorporate deep breathing, mindfulness, movement, and nervous system regulation. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing.
