Arlet Olivares, LCSW — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Arlet!

Congratulations on taking this brave first step toward change! Reaching out shows incredible strength, and I'm honored you're considering me to walk alongside you. My commitment to this work runs deep—it's woven into the very fabric of my life.

My focus

I work with devoted couples who feel more like distant roommates, caught in cycles of silence and emotional disconnection. I also help individuals consumed by worry and anxiety—those constantly overthinking, feeling stuck, and unable to quiet the mental noise.

My approach

I help couples uncover the root of disconnection without blame, building practical tools for emotional reconnection, healthy communication, and renewed trust. For individuals, we work together to calm the storm within using effective strategies to manage anxiety, restore clarity, and build emotional balance.

My communication style

I provide clear, open communication in a supportive, non-judgmental, and warm environment. You can expect active listening, calmness, and patience. I meet you exactly where you are with authentic empathy, bringing both clinical tools and genuine understanding to our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

More than just my credentials, I bring my whole, human self to our work together. My path was profoundly shaped by personal experience that taught me volumes about the real, day-to-day impact of these challenges, the fear, the hope, the resilience, and the incredible strength in a human being.

My goals for you

Together, we shift your relationship from frustration and distance to one where you both feel truly seen, heard, and cherished. You'll feel more in control, more present, and more connected to what truly matters—living with greater ease, purpose, and self-trust.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss your goals and map out a collaborative path forward. I look forward to supporting you throughout your journey and working together to achieve your desired outcomes.
