About ArinNaia

ArinNaia Olson is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, and ADHD. Her manner is calm and compassionate and she aims to meet people where they are.

Olson favors an individualized approach rather than a single method for everyone. She listens for each person's priorities and works with them to set clear, realistic goals.

Background and approach

Sessions are practical and focused on day-to-day change as well as emotional healing. Her background includes work with people who have experienced trauma, abuse, and major life transitions. She also supports those coping with addictions, sleep and eating concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and career or parenting strain.

Olson pays attention to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin patterns that affect adult relationships. Therapy sessions may draw on client-centered ways of working, existential conversations about meaning and choice, and targeted trauma work when needed. She also uses elements of Jungian exploration and hypnotherapy when clients are interested in those approaches.

The goal is to find methods that fit each person's needs and preferences. ArinNaia emphasizes collaboration in the room. She invites clients to try small changes, check what helps, and adjust the plan together.

Anyone who wants steady encouragement and practical tools for coping may find this style helpful.

Approaches you can try online

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person's own goals; it helps people who want a compassionate space to sort feelings and decide next steps. Existential therapy looks at meaning, choice, and responsibility in life and can be useful for those facing big transitions or questions about purpose. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories when trauma is a concern.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options, try approaches that fit the client's goals, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. This is a collaborative process that centers the client's preferences and needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets you work face to face from wherever you are, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping treatment consistent.
