About Oliver Harper
Oliver Harper is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with broad clinical experience that spans residential programs for adolescents, short-term acute care as a clinician and consultant, community-based in-home therapy in the Metro Atlanta area, and a private practice maintained for 15 years.
He earned an MS in Professional Counseling from Georgia State University, attended seminary in Atlanta where he completed graduate work in Leadership and Apologetics, and also pursued business studies while working on Wall Street. His academic background includes undergraduate and graduate degrees in Industrial and Organizational Psychology. He has completed specialized and certificate training in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT), Adlerian psychology, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and parenting interventions.
Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy serves as his primary clinical approach because of its pragmatic focus on reducing stress and anxiety and offering actionable tools for daily living. Over the course of his career he has worked extensively with traumatized clients and integrated interventions designed to address trauma's impact. He also draws on Stoic philosophy as a supplemental therapeutic influence and is the author of two books.
His practice emphasizes compassionate inquiry into patterns rooted in family dysfunction, trauma, substance-related problems, anxiety, perfectionism, and strong needs for approval. His clinical work aims to help clients connect past experiences with present-day patterns, integrate fragmented aspects of the self, and develop practical skills for healthier functioning. A lifelong learner committed to service, he supports clients in strengthening their sense of identity and realizing their capacity for growth.
