Olita Day-Berger

I am a certified CBT therapist through The Academy of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies and an experienced ACT therapist, with many years of both clinical practice and teaching at the graduate level. My approach is collaborative, structured, and goal-focused, helping clients clarify what matters most to them and apply evidence-based tools such as thought records, behavioral experiments, and chain analysis. In my ACT work, I teach skills such as mindfulness, defusion from unhelpful thoughts, values clarification, and committed action, so clients can respond more flexibly to life’s challenges and build lives aligned with their core values. I value respect, empowerment, and cultural responsiveness, and I ensure therapy is trauma-informed and personally relevant. With over a decade of experience supporting clients and training future therapists, and providing clinical supervision, I bring clarity, empathy, and adaptability to my work, with the ultimate goal of helping people reduce distress, strengthen resilience, and live more meaningful lives.
