Dr. Oltean has been providing Individual Psychotherapy, as well as supportive Substance Abuse Counseling, with a Specialty in Adult Children of Alcoholism for the past 15 years in Lakeview, focusing primarily on the LGBTQ+ community. His primary approaches to counseling are Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and a 12-step foundation framework for assisting in substance misuse and addiction recovery. CBT is one common and evidenced-based form of talk therapy aimed at resolving problems concerning unhealthy emotions, thoughts, and behaviors.
EMDR has been proven effective in reducing the impact and distress of major and developmental traumas. When working with addictions, Dr. Oltean will tailor the traditional 12-step process to meet your individual needs. Additionally, his approach often requires homework for you to complete between sessions.
