About ArinNaia
ArinNaia Olson is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She offers calm, empathic care to people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and parenting challenges. Her work also addresses trauma, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and attention-related struggles.
Olson centers sessions on the person rather than labels. She uses client-centered conversation to learn what matters most to each person. She aims to make therapy feel respectful and down-to-earth so people can talk honestly about hard things.
How ArinNaia works
She draws on a mix of approaches, including existential ideas about meaning, EMDR for processing traumatic memories, and Jungian perspectives on dreams and inner symbols. Olson blends these with mindfulness and hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate to help people calm their bodies and focus their attention.
Her work often focuses on attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency, family of origin issues, and forgiveness. She also supports people coping with divorce, domestic violence, guilt, shame, and emptiness. Olson takes a collaborative approach to planning therapy.
She works with each person to set goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Sessions aim to be practical, compassionate, and tuned to each person’s life circumstances.

Online support options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and creating a nonjudgmental space. The therapist follows each person's concerns and helps them find their own solutions, which works well for stress, self-esteem, and relationship issues.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, helps people process upsetting memories that keep causing distress. It can be used for trauma, abuse, and other events that continue to affect daily life.
Existential Therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility in life. It can help people facing big life changes, emptiness, or grief by clarifying values and next steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, try methods that seem to fit, and adjust based on how the person responds. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's goals and comfort level.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter updates, ongoing coaching, or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and keep momentum between regular sessions.
