About Onessa
Onessa Robertson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She offers a practical, person-focused approach that helps people make changes and feel steadier in day-to-day life. Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma, depression, and financial worries when they come up in life.
Her style mixes several approaches so sessions match what each person needs. She uses talk-based methods that help people notice patterns, make different choices, and practice new skills between meetings. She pays attention to life context and relationships while helping people set concrete goals.
She has supported people coping with grief, caregiver strain, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. She also helps those dealing with attachment issues, codependency, communication problems, and the emotional fallout from separation or infidelity. Practical problem solving around career stress and daily functioning is part of her work.
Clients who have experienced trauma or abuse can expect an approach that balances safety with gradual progress. She combines evidence-informed techniques such as cognitive behavioral strategies and motivational interviewing with relationship-focused work like the Gottman Method.
Onessa has provided services both locally and internationally and aims to be a steady witness as people work through hurts and rediscover strengths. To start, she asks people to name their goals so sessions are organized around what matters most to them.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then taking steps that match what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress, and making life changes by teaching practical ways to move toward goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches straightforward skills to reduce unhelpful thinking and increase effective actions. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and struggling with day-to-day problems. The Gottman Method centers on improving communication and managing conflict in relationships by teaching specific interaction skills and rebuilding friendship and trust. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Sessions can combine elements from different approaches so the plan evolves as progress is made. Online therapy can help fit care into a busy life by making it easier to attend from different locations. It can reduce travel time and make it simpler to schedule during a work break or between appointments. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available, and discuss timing and preferences at the first appointment to make sessions practical and useful.Areas of focus
