Josephine Olson

Josephine Olson, LPC, brings fifteen years of clinical practice to work with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families across Virginia. She combines specialized training as a Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, EMDRIA level 2 practitioner, Nationally Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapist, and Certified Traumatologist to shape interventions that are sensitive to complex trauma and family dynamics. As a Christian counselor she also integrates biblical principles when that aligns with a family’s goals and values.

Her practice emphasizes trauma-sensitive care and attachment-focused understanding alongside practical skills for emotion regulation and relationship repair. Josephine draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, DBT-informed techniques, EMDR when indicated, and elements of client-centered work to support coping with mood disorders, anxiety, grief, addictions, and parenting or family concerns. She works with issues such as abandonment, codependency, domestic violence, and self-harm with attention to safety and stabilization.

Josephine frames treatment collaboratively, helping families and individuals identify priorities, build skills, and repair relational patterns over time. Her approach aims to foster resilience and to support each person’s capacity for healthier connections and more effective coping in daily life.
