About Brandon
Dr. Brandon Olive is a clinical psychologist based in Kentucky with 21 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and related concerns. He emphasizes collaboration and respects each person's cultural background and beliefs.
He aims to help people plan, think, and respond in ways that improve daily life. He uses practical, research-informed methods to guide change. Sessions focus on identifying clear goals, building coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
He also draws on long experience with people who have severe symptoms, traumatic brain injury, or needs that have required hospitalization and medication management. When appropriate, he can suggest additional forms of support beyond counseling. That might include coordinating with other providers or recommending resources to address difficult-to-treat symptoms.
These suggestions come from decades of work in varied clinical settings. Dr. Olive approaches therapy as a partnership.
He encourages an honest first conversation so people can decide if the fit feels right. He believes a therapeutic relationship only helps when both parties are comfortable with the goals and methods. He offers online options to reach people who are hard to engage in part-time independent practice or full-time agency work.
Those formats are used to carry out the same goal-focused, skill-building work he uses in face-to-face settings.
Approaches and how online work fits your needs
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s own goals and values. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps people identify what matters most so change feels meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and reframe thoughts and to build new behaviors that reduce symptoms such as worry, low mood, or panic.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Dr. Olive will discuss options and adapt methods based on a person’s needs, goals, and preferences rather than forcing a single technique. Together the therapist and client decide which strategies to try and which to adjust over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed, live chat is good for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports short ongoing work between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain regular contact while pursuing goal-focused therapy.
