About Me
Olivia du Pont, LICSW
I have a genuine passion for providing therapy. I’m an intuitive and committed therapist that takes great joy in working with children, teens, adults, and couples, helping clients navigate anxiety, OCD, eating disorders, body image concerns, depression, grief, neurodivergence support, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, and the Gottman Method to provide practical tools and compassionate support. I take a holistic, culturally informed approach, addressing the full range of factors that shape well-being. My goal is to help clients access healing by build confidence, resilience, and meaningful connection in their lives.
I love supporting all ages across the life span and have experience supporting individuals ages 5-55. Through my various work settings, I’ve built extensive experience with a variety of concerns using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Play Therapy. For couples, I utilize the Gottman Method, with training in Gottman Couples Therapy.
I have specialized expertise in treating Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) using Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as well as eating disorders and body image concerns through CBT, ACT, and integrated approaches. Many clients benefit from support addressing overlapping challenges, such as OCD co-occurring with disordered eating.
I am committed to working from a culturally competent, holistic perspective that considers biological, psychological, social, and spiritual factors. I support clients of all ages with warmth, understanding, and evidence-based care, helping them navigate life’s challenges and build confidence, resilience, and meaningful connection. Along with everyone on the team, I provide identity affirming therapy support for neurodivergent individuals (ADHD, Autistic, HSP) and the LGBTQ+ community.
In my free time I enjoy tending to my abundant urban garden, time in nature and enjoying all the great places the DC metro area has to offer.
