About ArinNaia
ArinNaia Olson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, parenting strain, relationship concerns, grief, and trauma-related issues. Sessions are offered in English and she does not work with international clients.
Olson uses several well-known therapeutic approaches and adapts them to the person in front of her. She often draws on client-centered and existential ideas to help people clarify values and make practical choices. She also offers EMDR and hypnotherapy when those tools fit a person's goals and history.
In practice she keeps things direct and calm. Sessions typically focus on what is happening now and what you want to change. Conversations look at patterns coming from family of origin, attachment, and past wounds while also working on everyday problems like sleep, eating, or managing stress at home.
Parents and caregivers often come for help balancing competing demands, coping with caregiver stress, or dealing with feelings of guilt and shame. People concerned about addiction, codependency, or intimacy-related issues can expect practical conversations about boundaries, coping skills, and next steps.
Olson combines talking therapies with body- and memory-focused methods when appropriate. She encourages a collaborative plan that reflects each person's goals, pace, and comfort with different techniques.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people name priorities, feel heard, and decide practical next steps. Existential therapy looks at values, meaning, and the choices you face; it can help when life changes or role shifts feel heavy. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a memory-focused method used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the reactions linked to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with you and decide together which methods fit your needs, goals, and comfort level. That collaborative process means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting as you go.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking since the profile does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Some methods like EMDR or hypnotherapy can be adapted for remote sessions, but the therapist will explain practical steps and any preparations during the initial scheduling process.
