Congrats on starting your counseling journey and prioritizing your health!
Hi, I'm Olivia Withers, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) for Virginia. I started counseling to support you in exploring past difficulties, validating hard feelings, recognizing and meeting your personal needs, learning to communicate those needs to others, establishing boundaries, building self and emotional awareness, and accepting all the parts that make you human.
Through Better Help, I offer brief counseling (8-10 sessions) that focuses on building coping skills so you can successfully navigate stressors while minimizing anxiety, low mood, fatigue, or burnout. My approach is eclectic, but I strongly lean on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) tools. I also assign homework, as most therapeutic work will happen when you practice between sessions. My typical clients understand that any change, that is about to take place in their lives, starts with them.
Before we begin, please ensure my schedule and mode of counseling work for you. I am typically available through BetterHelp Monday through Thursday, 12 pm to 3:00 pm for VIDEO, LIVE CHAT, and PHONE sessions. I generally check messages here twice daily and respond within 24 hours. I appreciate your patience when it takes a bit longer at times, as I may be tending to other clients or professional/personal responsibilities.
If these options or methods do not work for you, no worries - you can transition to another provider and find a counselor with more flexibility. If you take this route - click on the icon in the top right corner of the counseling page, and choose "Change Counselor" from the drop-down menu. Make sure you specify in the feedback what you need (video, evenings, weekends, etc) and BetterHelp will re-match you quickly. You may also contact BetterHelp directly at [email protected].
All the best,
Olivia

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Olivia is amazing!
Wonderful!
I have only had couple session, Ms Witers, listened and gave great recommendations to address my concerns. She came across calm and passionate during our sessions whivh made it easy for me to be transparent.
She is a great listener and her comments/suggestions are really helpful
Olivia is a great therapist. She listens, cares, and provides thoughtful advice based on your concerns. I'm looking forward to working out my issues with her expertise.
Olivia Withers is one of the most understanding, considerate, and extremely helpful professionals I have ever confided in. She's caring and has surpassed all of my expectations coming into therapy. Withers is a critical asset for Betterhelp and I'm greatly appreciative of her assistance. Within the short period that I have known her, my mental and emotional health has significantly approved.
I've had two other therapists in the past and no one compares to how amazing Olivia is. I got so lucky finding her and being matched with her as my therapist. She's helped me get through some of the most difficult times in my life and she's also helped me truly find things out about myself that I wouldn't have known had I not gone through therapy. She gives the best advice and I always looked forward to my sessions with her.
As always, Ms. Olivia Withers is an exceptional therapist and professional. Sincerely, Lerner
