About Brandon
Dr. Brandon Olive helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addictions, grief, depression, and other life disruptions. He is a Kentucky psychologist with 21 years of experience and an approach built around listening and respect.
He aims to help people plan, think, react, and behave in ways that fit their goals and values. He emphasizes collaboration and sees the person in context of their culture and beliefs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than abstract ideas.
Background and approach
He draws on research-backed methods to create strategies that match each person’s needs. Dr. Olive has worked in a variety of settings and with people who have had severe symptoms, including those who required hospitalization or medication management.
That background helps him spot when additional supports may be useful and to make informed recommendations when appropriate. In therapy he offers straightforward conversation, problem-solving, and tools you can apply between sessions. He works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, post-traumatic stress, panic, obsessive behaviors, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and first responder stress, among others.
He invites an initial chat to see if there is a good match and to discuss realistic goals. If therapy is started, he and the client decide together which approaches will best address the presenting problems and daily realities.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as the expert on their life. It helps people feel heard and to make choices that fit their values and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and anger management.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and daily routines to choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made if something is not helping.
Online sessions can use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match your needs. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, accountability, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments and let people try different formats to see what works best.
