About ArinNaia
ArinNaia Olson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, WA LMHC, with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people who bring concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting problems. She also supports those coping with trauma, abuse, addiction, body image, and attention-related challenges.
Olson starts by listening to what feels most urgent. She uses practical conversation and reflective listening to help people name patterns that get in the way. Sessions explore how thoughts, emotions, and bodily reactions connect, and clients leave with small, doable steps to try between meetings.
Her approach draws from client-centered ideas that focus on the person in front of her, and from existential perspectives that look at meaning, choice, and values. She also uses EMDR techniques when trauma memories are a concern and integrates hypnotherapy and Jungian concepts where they fit the goals. Together these methods aim to reduce overwhelm and help people manage daily life more effectively.
Olson frames therapy as collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals and checks progress as therapy continues. Sessions are intended to be straightforward and paced to the person’s comfort.
She practices in Washington and conducts sessions in English. Before booking, readers should confirm current session options and logistics to make sure they match their needs.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and uses listening, reflection, and straightforward feedback to help clarify goals and next steps. It helps with anxiety, self-esteem, relationship concerns, and everyday stress by centering the client’s perspective.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, values, and the choices people make. It can help when life changes, feelings of emptiness, or questions about direction are present by encouraging clearer decision making and responsibility for chosen actions.
EMDR addresses memories that remain distressing after trauma. In practice it uses structured processing to reduce the emotional charge of those memories and can be useful for people affected by abuse or painful events.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test methods, adjust pace, and combine techniques that fit the person’s goals and comfort level. That process is decided jointly rather than assumed up front.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking. When arranging online sessions, practical benefits can include fitting meetings into a busy week, shorter check-ins when time is limited, or choosing a session style that does not require being on camera. These choices help therapy fit everyday life while keeping the focus on progress and clear next steps.
