About Onessa
Onessa Robertson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship struggles, grief, parenting strains, anger, career concerns, and life transitions.
She uses a mix of approaches rather than one fixed method. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings. She talks through patterns, supports goal setting, and works with clients to notice what gets in the way of change.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, client-centered methods, motivational interviewing, and the Gottman approach for relationship concerns. These tools are used to increase awareness, shift unhelpful thinking, and build different ways of responding to stress and strong feelings.
Onessa has experience with trauma, sexual violence, and related recovery work, and she helps people cope with grief, family problems, and caregiver strain. She also supports people who live with ADHD, codependency or issues with impulsivity and control.
She has worked locally and with international clients in a mix of professional and volunteer roles. Her style is straightforward: identify what matters to the client, choose strategies that fit their goals, and revisit progress as work continues.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and to commit to actions that follow their values. It can help with anger, anxiety, and motivation to change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. The Gottman Method provides practical skills for communication and repairing conflicts in close relationships.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the options, try techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client meet their goals. Clients and therapist decide together which strategies to keep using and which to let go.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, or allow brief check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice communication and emotion-regulation skills in real-life settings and then review them with a licensed professional.
