Olivia Szabo (She/Her), LPC-Associate, EMDR-t, Supervised by Ginny Manley, LPC-S
Hi! My name is Olivia (She/Her/Hers), and I’m proud to be a part of the Vibrant Journey Counseling team! I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Texas State University in San Marcos, Texas, in 2019. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Counseling with a concentration in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Edward’s University in Austin, Texas, in 2022. I’m licensed to practice in the state of Texas under the supervision of Ginny Manley, LPC-S. I’m passionate about working with later discovered Autistic and/or ADHD clients and assisting them in their journey of discovery. As a later discovered AuDHDer (Autistic and ADHD), I understand what a whirlwind it is to find this out later in life. I am also trained in EMDR (Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidenced based modality to process trauma or negative experiences that may refrain us from getting the progress we desire.
Creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive environment is my top priority, and I hope you will trust me with your story and experiences. During our time together, we may explore past and current behavior patterns, relationships, thought patterns, and your own goals for the future. I hope to give you the tools you need regarding self-esteem and identity, boundary setting, and helping you get closer to your goals. Whatever makes you most comfortable, bring it along! Fidgets, weighted blankets, and other items that meet your sensory needs are always welcomed in this space. I’m also open to bringing other activities into this space, such as video games or art/coloring! We can have fun along the way of your journey.
When not working, I love spending time with my dog, Kirby, my boyfriend, and my family. I love spending my free time playing video games, reading or listening to audiobooks, and watching shows/anime.
I’m honored to be considered as your therapist for your mental health journey. I look forward to meeting you!
