Olivia Cornwell , LCSW

Olivia Cornwell is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family challenges. She focuses on meeting each person where they are and shaping sessions around what matters most to them.

She has six years of social work experience across outpatient, inpatient, and school settings. That work includes individual and group therapy offered both in person and online. Her background includes supporting people coping with trauma, grief, eating and body image concerns, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder.

Olivia often blends practical tools into conversations. She draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and on dialectical behavior strategies for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing influence how she helps people set goals and build small, manageable changes.

Olivia also works with issues tied to parenting, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and family-of-origin problems. She offers support for LGBT concerns, career stress, compassion fatigue, and challenges that come with major life changes.

Clients can expect straightforward, empathetic sessions that emphasize collaboration and clear steps forward. Olivia aims to create a calm space to talk through problems, try practical skills, and track progress over time.

She practices in Utah and conducts sessions in English.

Practical approaches for online care

Olivia often uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely to what matters to each person and shaping sessions around their priorities. This approach helps people define goals and guide the pace of work based on their needs. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a hands-on method that helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are used when strong emotions or crisis moments make daily life difficult; these skills teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Olivia works collaboratively to choose techniques that match a person's goals, values, and daily life. She checks in regularly to see what helps and adjusts the plan together as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Olivia is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for in-depth sessions and teaching new skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter conversation fits a break at work. Live chat or messaging lets people send updates, do brief check-ins, or work through exercises between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules while still focusing on meaningful change.
