Philosophy and Approach

Lighted Pathways is dedicated to Creating Healthy Relationships for Life. Jenny Olin, LCSW believes you can get unstuck, solve problems successfully, and get what you want in relationships. By discovering and using your unique step-by-step solutions to reach your goals, healing your individual and relationship wounds can and does take place. You can transform your pain into relationship satisfaction and pleasure.

Just as you are born with the need for air, water, food and shelter, you are born with the need to be connected to other people. Jenny Olin believes you do not have to live with an unhappy, unfulfilling relationship to avoid being alone.

Jenny Olin uses her more than 29 years of solid clinical training and experience to provide you with

  • information,
  • insights,
  • feedback,
  • direction, and
  • solutions
    • to your problems as quickly as possible. She does this while giving caring, concerned support to you while you let go of what doesn’t work in your life and relationships and try out new possibilities until you find what works for you. She has a history of success in helping people who have not solved their problems with previous counseling.

    Some of the tools Jenny Olin offers for transforming your unhappiness into fulfilling relationships include: 

    • Understanding intimacy - how to create or increase it
    • Learning healthy ways to communicate – to hear and be heard
    • Identifying stress styles – finding your triggers and how to reduce stress
    • Reducing conflict – letting go of bad feelings
    • Negotiating change in relationships – how to “fight fair”
    • Discovering unhealthy influences – past and present
    • Breaking dysfunctional patterns – getting rid of what doesn’t work
    • Healing past and present pain – forgiveness 

    Jenny Olin works for you to make sure during each session you feel heard, understood, and respected, that her approach is a good fit for you, and you experience each session as having value and being worthwhile. It is of great importance your experience at Lighted Pathways helps you create healthy relationships for life.
