Olivia Montez, MA, LPC

Autism, anxiety, and couples counseling are my targeted areas of training, but I can also help with a variety of other concerns such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

Illusory Counseling was inspired by the notion that experiences can yield unhelpful thoughts and emotions which may have an impact on personal worldviews. I can assist in exploring how your experiences have crafted your worldview and provide you with tools that may help you uncover, and help, parts of yourself as knowledge can provide healing.

I completed my clinical mental health counseling internship at The Ohio State University Nisonger Center where I provided therapy to autistic young adults with mental health concerns. Additionally, I have completed the Gottman Method level 1 training and Save Your Marriage Before it Starts (SYMBIS) training for couples counseling.

As I feel that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important factors when engaging in therapy, it is important that you know a little bit about me. A few of my interests include humor, coffee, gaming, animals, and my husband/kids. I encourage you to visit my website to learn more about my practice and to schedule an initial consultation through the online client portal on my website.

I offer free 15 minute initial consultations during weekday morning/afternoon hours and weekday evening slots for online therapy.

If currently have or suspect an autism diagnosis and feel that individual therapy may not be what you're looking for, feel free to inquire about online group therapy (person and identify-first language are honored and respected).

I am currently under the supervision of Bridget Gray, LPCC-S.
