Liv Curiously Therapy
Helping millennial and gen-z women create new ways of loving themselves without the guilt and anxiety.
Hi, Olivia Alvizo-Johnson here!
I’m a first gen Latina, mom, eldest daughter, and fellow anxious girly who just happens to be a therapist.
I help millennial and gen-z women ease their anxiety and people pleasing patterns through a slow, gentle, and reflective therapeutic process.
The Story Behind Liv Curiously Therapy
Practice Rooted From Personal Experience
Liv Curiously Therapy was created from my own journey through generational trauma and the work of learning how to live with more curiosity and compassion.
To liv curiously means choosing confidence, self-respect, and self-compassion without guilt or anxiety. It’s about slowing down, asking better questions, and responding to yourself with care instead of criticism.
This practice exists to help you do the same by helping you reconnect with who you already are.

A Different Way of Healing
Therapy That Celebrates You
Liv Curiously Therapy believes that therapy should feel safe, empowering, and deeply human.
Here, we don’t rush healing or force answers. We focus on awareness, emotional regulation, and building trust with yourself. Curiosity replaces judgment. Compassion replaces pressure.
This is therapy that meets you where you are and supports where you want to go.
Frequently Asked Questions
I’m usually the one listening to everyone else. Is this space really for me?
Absolutely. In fact, this space was built exactly for you.
If you grew up being the emotional anchor for your family or the 'therapist friend' in your group, it feels unnatural to turn the spotlight on yourself. You might even feel guilty for needing support when you’re used to being the 'strong one.'
But here is the truth: You don’t have to carry it all alone. In our sessions, you are allowed to set down the heavy load. You don’t have to manage anyone else’s emotions or worry about being 'too much.' For 50 minutes, you simply get to be supported.
What if I don’t know what to say? (Will it be awkward?)
This is more common than you think.
When you’ve spent so much time holding space for others, it can be hard to know where to begin when it’s finally your turn. You might worry about saying the wrong thing or not saying enough at all.
There is no pressure to have the right words here. You can start with “I don’t know” or sit in silence if that’s what feels right. We’ll move gently, at your pace, and let the conversation unfold naturally.
How does online therapy work? Is it as effective as in-person?
Online therapy meets you where you are. Literally and emotionally.
Sessions take place through a secure video platform, allowing you to join from a space where you feel safe and comfortable. Many clients find that being in their own environment helps them open up more easily.
Research shows that online therapy can be just as effective as in-person work. What truly matters is the relationship we build and the care, consistency, and intention we bring into each session.
How often do we meet, and for how long?
Most clients begin with weekly sessions, especially at the start.
Each session lasts 50 minutes and gives you a dedicated, uninterrupted space to focus on yourself. As therapy progresses, we can adjust the frequency together based on your needs, goals, and capacity. This process is collaborative and always guided by what feels supportive for you.
Do you take insurance?
Yes, I reserve select spots for insurance paying clients via Headway.
However, at the moment I do not have any availability for new insurance spots.
What is the cost of therapy?
A 50 minute virtual therapy session is $170.
I understand paying out of pocket for therapy is a huge financial commitment. I always encourage folks to reach out to me and schedule a consultation so we can discuss any questions you might have.
