Lirio Ohlson LMFT LPCC, Psychotherapist

Clients describe me as enthusiastic, engaged, motivated, directive, proactive, caring and funny (don’t know if this is true, but I’ll take it!). I feel honored to do the work I do and after many years I still feel the same excitement and eagerness to help people as when I first started. This work makes a meaningful life for me and I am thankful for the opportunity to help you make a life of meaning too! Personal things I enjoy: sunlight, nature, a warm cup of tea on a cold day and comedy! 

I received my graduate education from Santa Clara University in California, where I learned the foundations of counseling psychology with a special focus on relationships and marriage and family therapy. I maintain active licenses to provide individual, couples, family and adolescent psychotherapy in California, Massachusetts and Texas.  I am licensed both as a Marriage Family Therapist and a Professional Clinical Counselor in the State of California. I have worked in a variety of settings including schools, community clinics, hospitals and in private practice. I feel fortunate to have been able to provide counseling support to a diversity of clients comprised of different cultural/ethnic groups, identities and orientation, and phases of life on both coasts as well as in the Midwest.  I integrate effective and established modalities in my work with clients and I continue to learn and inform my approach through continued formal study and directly from work with clients during therapy.  I feel honored to do this work and cherish each opportunity I have to help people navigate difficult internal or external challenges.
