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 stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting, grief, anger, career issues, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She also addresses family and attachment concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, communication and control problems, and separation or infidelity issues.
Her work is practical and straightforward. She helps people gain insight, make changes, and build new ways of relating. Sessions often focus on identifying what matters to the person and taking small steps toward meaningful goals. She uses a blend of methods chosen to match each client’s needs and objectives.
Over her career she has supported people locally and internationally in several settings. That experience includes work with individual clients, couples, and family-related concerns in professional and volunteer roles. She brings a variety of therapeutic tools to sessions and chooses techniques based on client goals rather than a single fixed method.
Her approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Motivational Interviewing. She also has experience integrating expressive methods such as art or play approaches when they fit the work.
If someone is considering therapy, she asks them to think about what matters most and what they want to change. Prospective clients are guided to a short matching questionnaire and then can schedule a first session to discuss goals and next steps.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches translate to remote work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, practical steps toward them. ACT is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes by focusing on actions that matter more than getting rid of difficult thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete skills to reduce anxiety or manage mood. CBT is often chosen for depression, anxiety, and impulse control work. The Gottman Method provides tools for communication and conflict management in relationships, with clear exercises for improving connection and handling disagreement.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test what helps, and adjust methods over time. That means sessions may include values-based exercises, skill practice, or relationship-focused tasks depending on what the person needs.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or offering options that work around work and family schedules. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and Gottman techniques to remote sessions through conversation, worksheets, and guided exercises to keep progress practical and applicable to daily life.
