The Washington State Capitol dome in Olympia, Washington

Serving Olympia, Washington by secure video. Pictured, the State Capitol.

In short

Yes, you can see a therapist in Olympia online. Counseling Services for Wellbeing connects Olympia residents with a licensed Washington therapist by secure video, the same person each session. We do not have an Olympia office, so we see you anywhere in the state by video. We accept most major insurance plans and book first appointments the same week.

Does this sound familiar?

You want to talk to someone, and your schedule should not be the thing in the way.

Let us be clear up front. Counseling Services for Wellbeing does not have an office in Olympia. We are a Washington practice, and we see Olympia residents by secure video, the same licensed clinicians who would see you in a room, wherever you are in the state. There is no waiting room and no drive across town. There is a Washington-licensed therapist on a screen, ready to meet you where you already are.

For some people that is exactly the point. For others, being in the room matters, and that is a fair preference. Our three offices sit in the Seattle metro, about two hours north on I-5, so for most Olympia residents video is the realistic way to work with us.

Online therapy here means a real therapist, the same one each session. Someone who knows your story, and care your insurance can actually reach.

Why Olympia

Why does online therapy fit Olympia in particular?

Three things about the capital make video the realistic way to start. They are specific to here, not a generic case for telehealth.

A workforce built around the state

Olympia is the state capital, and Washington State government is by far the largest employer in Thurston County. State and local government together accounted for roughly 43,600 of the county's jobs in 2024, near a third of the total, so a large share of the people searching here work the same weekday hours a clinic keeps.

A real provider shortage

Across Washington only about 12 percent of residents live in an area where the supply of mental health providers is enough to meet the need, by federal shortage data. So the wait for a local opening is a statewide reality, not a story you are imagining. Seeing a Washington-licensed clinician by video widens the pool well past whoever has an Olympia opening this month.

The commute the session does not need

Leaving a Capitol-campus shift or an agency desk for a midday appointment, then sitting in I-5 or US-101 traffic both ways, can cost more time than the hour itself. During a legislative session that pressure only sharpens. Video removes the drive, so a session fits a lunch break or an early slot from a private room at home.

This is not only an Olympia story. Lacey, Tumwater and the rest of Thurston County run on the same state-government schedule, and we work with clients across the county by secure video.

What we offer

Online therapy for adults across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater and Thurston County.

It is built for the person whose job, not their motivation, is the thing standing in the way of starting.

A state-agency or legislative-session schedule

Your hours on the Capitol campus or at an agency desk rule out a midday commute to a clinic, so video care fits inside the workday.

A healthcare or education worker on a fixed shift

You need care that bends around the workday, from a private space on a break, not a drive across town and back.

Carrying work stress, burnout, anxiety or low mood

You are tired of putting it off because there is no time, and you want to stop white-knuckling it through another season.

Working through relationship strain or a transition

You want a licensed clinician, not a self-help app, and a steady person who stays with you through it.

New to therapy and wanting a low-friction start

A first session from your own space, with the commute deleted, is an easier way to take the first step.

You want consistency, not a rotating platform

You do not want a different counselor every few weeks, so you are looking for one therapist who stays with you over video.

You do not have to choose between keeping your job moving and getting support. And if you would rather be in the room, the same care is available in person at our Seattle offices.

Our approach

How does online therapy work at Counseling Services for Wellbeing?

Online therapy here works the same way our in-person care does, matched at intake to one Washington-licensed therapist who stays with you, delivered over secure video built for healthcare. The format changes, the quality of the relationship does not.

Reach out

A short form or a call. We learn what you are working on and whether video fits, which for most Olympia residents it does. A real person from our team reviews each one before reaching out, so the first step is never a portal you talk to alone.

Matched at intake

We pair you with a Washington-licensed therapist whose approach fits what you are working on, the same way we would in person. The match is the priority, not the next open slot, and that one therapist learns your story and stays with you.

Start this week, from home or a closed office door

First appointments are available the same week, over secure video built for healthcare. You join from a private space on a phone, tablet or computer, and we walk you through exactly how it works before your first session.

Why Olympia residents choose us

A real Washington practice that serves Olympia by video, with the same therapist each session.

Counseling Services for Wellbeing is a Washington mental health practice. Our clinicians are licensed in Washington, which is what lets us see Olympia and Thurston County residents by secure video. The whole team works under our clinical director, an AAMFT-approved supervisor. We hold a 4.8-star rating across 338 reviews. We accept most major insurance plans, including Regence, Kaiser, Aetna and Optum, and we book first appointments the same week. Research finds that for many people online therapy works as well as in-person care, a view the American Psychological Association echoes when it notes telepsychology can be as effective as in-person treatment for a range of concerns.

One therapist who knows your story. Matched at intake so the fit is right. Secure video that meets the privacy bar. A whole-person lens carried straight into video care. The practice was built on the idea that mental health care should account for the whole person, not just the presenting problem, so we pay attention to sleep, energy, stress and the patterns around you, whether you meet us with CBT, EMDR or DBT on a screen.

What our team sees with Olympia-area clients. A lot of the people who reach us from the capital area carry a particular kind of pressure, the steady weight of a state job, the crunch of a legislative session, the sense that the workday has no give in it for an appointment. Burnout, anxiety and the strain that builds when work never quite stops come up often. For many of them the relief is as much about the commute disappearing as it is about the hour itself, because the session finally fits a schedule that was never going to bend.

We do not have a room in Olympia to sit in, and we are not the cheapest app with a 24/7 message thread. We are the option that gives Olympia residents the same therapist each session, takes most major insurance plans including the Regence and Kaiser plans many state employees carry, gets you in this week by secure video, and can coordinate therapy with psychiatry inside one Washington practice.

Insurance & coverage

Most major insurance plans accepted

Many Olympia residents carry Washington state-employee coverage through PEBB, which runs through carriers like Regence and Kaiser. We confirm your specific plan before your first session, so online care here does not have to be cash-pay only the way many national telehealth platforms are.

State-employee coverage

If you are on a Washington state-employee plan, you are most likely already covered.

Most Olympia state workers get health coverage through the Public Employees Benefits Board, the program the state uses to offer plans to its workforce. The carriers it runs through are ones we work with.

The Public Employees Benefits Board, which most people just call PEBB, offers state employees a set of medical plans each year. The main ones include the Uniform Medical Plan, which is administered by Regence, and Kaiser Permanente plans, including Kaiser Permanente Washington in much of the state and Kaiser Permanente of the Northwest in the southwest corner. Because we work with Regence and Kaiser, online therapy with us is usually reachable on the plans many Olympia state employees already carry, rather than a cash-pay arrangement the way many national telehealth apps are.

Telehealth therapy is generally a covered behavioral health benefit on these plans, billed the same way an in-person session would be. What it actually costs you depends on your specific plan, your deductible and where you are in the year, so we do not want to quote a copay we cannot stand behind. We confirm your exact plan and what to expect before your first session, so you start with a number rather than a guess.

One timing note worth holding onto. PEBB open enrollment runs in the fall, usually late October into November, with any change taking effect the following January. You do not have to wait for it to start therapy, but it is the window where you would change plans if you wanted to.

The team

Washington clinicians who see Olympia-area clients by secure video.

A team that works by secure video across anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout and couples, deeper than the few here. We match you with one therapist whose focus fits what you are working on, and they stay with you.

I am a dedicated and compassionate counselor with experience in working with youth and young adults. My therapeutic approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which I tailor to each individual’s unique needs and circumstances. My practice is trauma-informed, emphasizing safety, collaboration, and empowerment throughout the therapeutic journey.

I believe that everything in life is about finding balance. Therapy, to me, is about working towards the balance of mental and emotional health. We are all human, and life is unpredictable, which brings with it many stressors and causes mental distress. Therapy is a tool you can use to develop coping and positive relationship skills to support yourself in becoming a healthier version of yourself.

From an early age and throughout different stages of my life, I experienced trauma in various forms. The experiences that I had caused me to seek support for myself and later sparked a desire to help support others in the process of finding their balance of mental and emotional health.

In 2007, I began volunteering with at-risk youth who were part of the child welfare system and exhibited behavioral issues. After doing this for a couple of years, I realized I was passionate about working with youth and others who had experienced trauma. In 2016, I went to school intending to work in social welfare and eventually clinical therapy practice.

In 2019, I completed a year-long internship with King County Juvenile Court as a probation counselor. Since then, I have worked professionally with youth involved in our criminal justice and child welfare systems as an employee at Echo Glen Children’s Center and the Department of Child Welfare. Since beginning in therapy, I have worked with clients in offices and provided in-school services to children, youth, and adults experiencing anxiety and depression, family conflict, as well as trauma and loss. I have a Master’s of Social Work from the University of Washington Tacoma.

About my approach: My therapeutic approach is collaborative, client-centered, and strength-based. I believe in empowering my clients to actively participate in their healing

journey. Together, we set achievable goals and work towards them using evidence-based techniques. My empathetic and non-judgmental demeanor allows clients to explore their thoughts and feelings openly, leading to deeper insights and lasting positive changes.

Welcome

Most people think you’re doing fine. You show up, get through your day, and carry everything quietly. But inside, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted from holding it all together.

I see you. And you don’t have to do this alone.Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to being the strong one.

But therapy is not a sign of weakness, it is an act of courage. It is a space where you can finally exhale, reconnect with yourself, and begin to feel grounded, supported, and understood again.

Background:

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate in Washington State, with a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling. I am trained in EMDR and trauma-informed approaches.

My path into this work comes from a deep passion for helping others heal, grow, and reconnect with their sense of self. I believe that everyone carries a story, and within that story is resilience, strength, and the capacity for change.

As both a therapist and trauma-informed yoga instructor, I bring a mind-body perspective into my work, recognizing that healing is not just cognitive, but also emotional, physical, and nervous system-based.

Approach

My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental, while also being honest and supportive. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, helping you reconnect with your inner strength and clarity.

I integrate a variety of evidence-based and holistic modalities, including EMDR, somatic and body-based practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.

I specialize in working with individuals working through trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem challenges, relationship issues, women’s issues, and life transitions. Together, we will focus on helping you feel more grounded, build self-trust, develop healthier coping patterns, and reconnect with the version of yourself that feels strong, worthy, and empowered.

Next Steps

You don’t have to keep doing this on your own. Healing is possible, and you deserve support along the way.

If you’re ready to reconnect with yourself, build confidence, and move forward with clarity and strength, I invite you to reach out. You deserve to feel whole, grounded, and at peace. Let’s begin that journey together

Hi! My name is Trent Landenberger, and I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate (LMFTA) with a strong foundation in relational and systems-based care.

Background:

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Theology from Colorado Christian University and a Master of Science in Family Therapy, which together shape my holistic and values-informed approach to mental health. With experience counseling individuals, couples, and families, I am passionate about helping clients work through life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and hope.

Approach

My work is grounded in a warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed therapeutic style. I strive to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to explore their experiences. I take a strengths-based and insight-oriented approach, helping clients better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns that influence their lives.

I integrate evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. By tailoring treatment to each individual and family system, I support clients in developing effective coping strategies, reframing unhelpful narratives, and nurturing meaningful, lasting change.

I work with adults, adolescents, couples, families, and veterans, and I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, and severe mental illness. I am particularly attentive to the ways personal history, relationships, and life circumstances intersect, and I aim to help clients move toward greater connection, stability, and well-being.

Closing

Driven by a genuine desire to support others, I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and deep respect for each client’s unique story. It is an honor to partner with individuals and families as they work toward healing, growth, and more fulfilling lives

Frequently asked questions

What Olympia residents ask before starting online therapy.

Do you have an office in Olympia?

No. Counseling Services for Wellbeing does not have an Olympia office. We are a Washington practice and we see Olympia and Thurston County residents by secure video anywhere in the state, with the same licensed clinicians. Our three physical offices are in the Seattle metro, so for most Olympia residents video is the realistic way to work with us.

Do you take Washington state-employee, PEBB or Regence plans for online therapy?

We accept most major insurance plans, including Regence, Kaiser, Aetna and Optum, and many Washington state-employee plans run through PEBB sit with these same carriers. Because the state workforce is the dominant employer in Olympia, this matters here. We confirm your specific plan and coverage before your first session, so you know what to expect rather than guessing.

Are your therapists licensed in Washington?

Yes. Every clinician who sees Olympia clients is licensed or working toward licensure in Washington under senior supervision. Washington licensure is what lets us see Olympia and Thurston County residents by secure video even though we have no office in the area, so geography is not the limit, your schedule and goals are.

Can I do therapy on a lunch break or before work?

Yes. Video sessions fit a working schedule without a commute, which is the main reason telehealth fits a capital-area workforce. You can meet from a private room at home or behind a closed office door during a lunch break or an early slot, then get back to your day without losing hours to I-5 or US-101 traffic.

How soon can I be seen?

First appointments are available the same week, not weeks out. Much of the market books four to six weeks ahead or is cash-pay only, so you do not have to white-knuckle a long wait to start. We are accepting new clients now by secure video and will find the first opening that fits your schedule.

Do I need to live in Olympia exactly to be seen?

No. We serve all of Washington by secure video, including Lacey, Tumwater and the rest of Thurston County, so where in the capital area you live is not a barrier. Because our clinicians are licensed in Washington, geography is not the limit, your schedule and your goals are what shape the care.

Will I see the same therapist each session online?

Yes. You are matched with one therapist who learns your story and stays with you session to session, rather than a rotating pool that hands you to whoever is free. That continuity is the heart of how we work and the main thing that sets us apart from the big national telehealth platforms, where the face often changes.

How much does therapy cost in Washington if I use insurance?

With insurance you usually pay a copay or a share of the session rather than the full cash rate, and the amount depends on your specific plan and where you are in your deductible for the year. We accept most major insurance plans, including Kaiser and the Regence-administered plans many Olympia state employees carry through PEBB. We confirm your exact plan and what to expect before your first session, so online therapy here does not have to be the cash-pay arrangement many national platforms are.

Can I get both therapy and a psychiatrist in one place?

Yes. Counseling Services for Wellbeing offers therapy and psychiatric medication management inside one Washington practice, so if it turns out you want both, they can be coordinated rather than run by two offices that never talk. Many Olympia practices and national platforms refer the medication side out. If you are not sure which you need, that is a normal place to start, and we help you sort it at intake. You can read more about online psychiatry in Washington if that is part of what you are weighing.
