About Oliver Harper
Oliver Harper is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 22 years of clinical experience working across residential adolescent settings, short-term acute care, in-home therapy in Metro Atlanta, and a private practice he maintained for 15 years. He holds an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University and pursued additional graduate study at a seminary in Atlanta, earning advanced degrees in Leadership and Apologetics. His academic background also includes undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, and he has business school training and experience from Wall Street.
He has completed specialized and certificate training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Adlerian psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and parenting interventions. REBT serves as his primary clinical approach, offering pragmatic tools to reduce stress and anxiety and to support effective living. Over the course of his career he has worked extensively with traumatized clients and integrates interventions to address trauma's impact, along with elements of Stoic philosophy when appropriate. He is the author of two books.
Oliver offers a compassionate, inquiry-based approach that helps clients explore the roots of patterns tied to family dysfunction, trauma, addiction, anxiety, perfectionism, and an overreliance on external validation. He guides clients to connect past experiences with present behavior and to integrate fragmented parts of the self. A lifelong learner dedicated to service, he aims to help individuals build identity capital and move toward a stronger, more resilient sense of self.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care
Oliver Harper draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to inform his online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people address patterns of closeness, trust, and abandonment that affect relationships today. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical tools to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and cope with stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Oliver works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress is made. He combines clinical experience with client feedback to tailor an individualized plan.
