About Onessa

Onessa Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker who draws on 14 years of practice to support people navigating stress, relationships, trauma, and related concerns such as ADHD.

Background and approach

She blends evidence-informed methods to help clients build insight, develop practical skills, and move toward meaningful change while offering steady professional support throughout the process. Her work focuses on issues including anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and life transitions, as well as deeper relational and family patterns like attachment and codependency.

She also addresses anger, career stress, and problems stemming from infidelity, isolation, or family-of-origin dynamics. Onessa adapts her approach to each person’s goals, selecting tools that foster coping, repair communication, and reduce impulsivity where it appears.

Holding both LICSW and LCSW credentials, she has provided therapy in Florida and with international clients, using modalities chosen to match client needs. Her practice emphasizes collaboration, practical strategies, and gradual progress to help clients reclaim balance and pursue their next steps toward wellbeing.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Onessa commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify values and take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; this approach supports coping with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be useful for depression, anxiety, and managing impulsivity. When relational concerns arise she may draw on the Gottman Method to strengthen communication and address conflict in partnerships.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, adapting methods over time as needs evolve. This collaborative process helps shape a tailored plan rather than relying on a single technique.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue care across distances. These formats provide flexibility for ongoing support, check-ins, skill practice, and progress tracking while allowing licensed professionals to apply ACT, CBT, or Gottman-informed strategies in ways that suit each client’s routine and preferences.
