About ArinNaia
ArinNaia Olson is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She brings eight years of clinical experience and focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem. Her work also includes grief, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and challenges related to parenting and career change.
Her style is calm and compassionate. She aims to listen first, then work with each person to make a plan that fits their life. Sessions emphasize kindness and practical steps rather than labels or one-size-fits-all solutions.
ArinNaia draws on several approaches to tailor treatment to the individual. She uses client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals central. She may use mindfulness-based techniques and practices that address body and emotion together. She also includes methods aimed at processing traumatic memories when appropriate.
She applies a thoughtful, collaborative process. Together with the person in therapy, she sets goals and checks progress along the way. The focus is on small, manageable changes that add up over time.
People who come to her often want a steady, supportive presence while they sort through difficult feelings or life changes. She works to create a space where someone can feel heard, regain a sense of direction, and build skills for coping with daily stressors and more acute challenges.
Approaches that translate to online support
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building goals that matter to the person. It emphasizes empathy, respect, and working at a pace that feels right, which can help with anxiety, depression, relationship questions, and self-esteem concerns.EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an approach used to process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. It is often used for trauma-related symptoms and can be adapted to work in remote sessions when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It may reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to schedule around work or caregiving. Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current session options before booking. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable in day-to-day routines.
