Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Greetings, and congratulations on making the decision to improve your life situation. Whether or not you choose to work with me, your choice to obtain therapy assistance for your concerns will have beneficial effects for you and the people close to you. I am a mature professional, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California, with many years of experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages, as well as couples and families. I am diverse in my approach and firmly believe that therapeutic goals must be made in conjunction and agreement with the individual seeking therapy. I lived overseas for a number of years so I am sensitive to cultural differences. I have specialized training in military trauma, sexual trauma as well as with adults with different types of trauma. I am experienced in helping people who are transitioning from one life phase to another: Relationship and family transitions, job/occupational challenges and changes, dealing with chronic pain and illnesses, and the challenges of caretakers for partners or parents. I enjoy working with people who are seeking to meet goals they they have not yet been able to achieve, and to recognize the strengths they possess and to develop strategies to maximize those strengths.
I look forward to embarking on this journey with you. You CAN achieve your goals!!

Brian Olden is a seasoned, California-based therapist who encourages the decision to seek help as an important step toward improving life circumstances. With 45 years of clinical experience, he brings a steady, experienced presence to work with individuals, couples, and families across a range of concerns.
He practices as a licensed clinical social worker in California, offering professional, evidence-informed care that emphasizes collaboration – therapeutic goals are established together with the person seeking support. Having lived overseas for several years, he is attuned to cultural differences and how they shape personal experience.
Brian has specialized training in military-related trauma and sexual trauma, and he has substantial experience working with adults affected by various types of traumatic experience. He also assists people navigating life transitions – including relationship and family changes, job or occupational shifts, chronic pain or illness, and the stresses faced by caregivers for partners or aging parents.
His approach is flexible and strength-focused: he helps clients identify existing resources and create practical strategies to build on those strengths and reach goals they have not yet met. He looks forward to joining clients on that process and affirms that progress toward meaningful goals is possible.
Many people wonder whether working with a therapist online can produce meaningful results. For common issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
One of the main benefits is convenience – clients can connect in the format that fits their life, choosing video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This flexibility makes it easier to keep therapy consistent amid busy schedules or changing circumstances.
Therapists and licensed professionals who provide online care apply professional training and therapeutic methods similar to those used in face-to-face treatment. If a different match is needed, clients generally have the option to switch therapists to find the best fit for their needs.
