Josephine Olson, LPC

Josephine Olson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 15 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, mood concerns, trauma and relationship struggles. Josephine also supports people facing addiction, grief, parenting strain, and difficulties like codependency and attachment worries.

She uses approaches that focus on how relationships shape behavior and feelings. Josephine draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past bonds affect present choices. She also uses client-centered methods that keep the conversation focused on what the person wants to work on.

Josephine incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy to help with intense emotions and coping in the moment. She brings in trauma-focused tools when memories or past events cause ongoing distress. When appropriate, she uses techniques aimed at processing disturbing memories and easing their impact on daily life.

Her practice pays attention to how family patterns and early losses show up now. She helps people identify repeating patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or feeling responsible for others’ moods. Sessions include practical skill-building, checking how patterns play out in relationships, and setting achievable next steps.

People who come to Josephine can expect straightforward conversations about triggers and behavior. She invites clients to try concrete tools between sessions and to notice what changes. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
