About Onessa
Onessa Robertson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns, and she also lists family and parenting issues among her areas of practice. She offers help to adults seeking clearer patterns and better ways to cope with ongoing stress and life changes.
Her approach blends several methods so she can meet the needs a person brings to therapy. In sessions she uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep people stuck. She also draws on client-centered work and elements of the Gottman Method when relationships are a central concern.
Onessa pays attention to patterns rooted in people’s families of origin, such as learned roles, communication habits, and expectations carried into adult life. She helps people notice those patterns and try different ways of relating. Practical skills and small experiments are common parts of her work.
She has experience supporting people coping with grief, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and issues like codependency, commitment concerns, or infidelity. Conversations may include managing intense emotions, setting boundaries, and repairing connection where possible.
Sessions also address career stress, loneliness, guilt and shame, and impulse control problems. Onessa accepts international clients and conducts work in English. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process to schedule a first session and choose the best next step.
Therapeutic approaches used for online sessions
Onessa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and accepting difficult feelings while taking concrete steps toward what matters. It can help with anxiety, avoidance, and decisions tied to family roles. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new habits to ease depression or anxiety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress and needs become clearer.
