Olivia Duball
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Nationally Certified Counselor
As a licensed professional counselor, my goal is to help individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, insight, and practical strategies.
Whether you’re dealing with the emotional toll of infertility, managing postpartum anxiety and depression, or facing anxiety and relationship difficulties, I’m here to support you in creating a path toward emotional well-being and personal growth.
Life can be overwhelming, and it’s not uncommon to find yourself struggling with stress, sadness, or confusion during major life transitions. In therapy, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your emotions, develop new insights, and create lasting change. I believe that therapy is most effective when it’s a collaborative process—together, we will uncover your strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and work toward solutions that align with your values and goals.

A Holistic and Personalized Approach
My approach is grounded in empathy and collaboration. By fostering a strong therapeutic relationship, I work alongside you to help identify what is holding you back, offer support in navigating difficult emotions, and guide you toward creating healthier thought patterns and behaviors.
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all, which is why I use a range of evidence-based techniques tailored to your unique needs. These may include:

A goal-oriented approach that focuses on building solutions and making actionable progress toward a more fulfilling life.

Helping you examine and shift negative thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other emotional struggles.

Education and Background
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology with a minor in Communications from Washington and Jefferson College, where I developed a deep curiosity about human behavior and the “how” and “why” behind the challenges people face. I later completed my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Duquesne University, focusing on Marriage and Family Therapy. I am also a proud member of the Chi Sigma Iota Honor Society, which connects me to a global community of professional counselors committed to excellence in our field.
Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and adults, and have gained extensive experience addressing a wide range of mental health concerns, including anxiety disorders, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma, and relationship issues. I’m trained in a variety of therapeutic approaches, and I use the techniques that are best suited to your needs to ensure the most effective treatment.
A Focus on Women's Health
While I work with clients from all walks of life, I have a particular passion for supporting women who are navigating some of the most challenging experiences in life, such as infertility and postpartum depression or anxiety.
Whether you’re coping with the stress of fertility treatments, adjusting to new motherhood, or managing the anxiety that comes with balancing career and family life, I’m here to support you through it all.
The Importance of Our Relationship
I firmly believe that the relationship between client and therapist is the most important factor in achieving therapeutic success. My role is to create a space where you feel safe and supported while exploring your emotions and experiences. Together, we’ll remove the obstacles preventing you from reaching your full potential for healing and growth.
It takes courage to seek therapy, and I’m honored to be part of your journey. I’m here to listen, empathize, and help you achieve meaningful change—whether that’s overcoming infertility challenges, managing anxiety, improving your relationships, or simply gaining a better sense of self.
