About Onessa

Onessa Robertson is a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, depression, grief, parenting concerns, career transitions, and caregiving strain. She combines clinical training with a flexible, client-centered style to help individuals, families, and couples gain insight, promote meaningful change, and build new connections that align with their goals.

As a LICSW and LCSW - meaning she holds advanced social work licenses that qualify her to provide clinical therapy - she draws on a range of therapeutic tools tailored to each person’s needs. Her practice addresses trauma and abuse, attachment and family-of-origin issues, codependency, communication and commitment problems, impulsivity and anger, and the frustration of feeling isolated or empty. She also supports clients navigating divorce or separation, infertility of trust due to infidelity, and the emotional load of caregiving.

Onessa has provided psychotherapy both locally and internationally, working with clients through individual, family, and couples formats. Her approach integrates methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, the Gottman method at Level I, play and sandplay techniques, art therapy, and faith-based spirituality when appropriate. She centers the client’s goals in treatment and serves as a steady witness and collaborator throughout the therapeutic process.

She encourages those ready to explore change to take the next step toward growth and healing, honoring the initial decision to seek help as an important moment in the work ahead.

Therapeutic approaches available through online therapy

Onessa uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that align with their values - a useful fit for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and trauma-related responses. The Gottman Method offers structured, research-informed strategies for couples to improve communication, manage conflict, and rebuild trust after breaches such as infidelity.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Onessa treats this as a collaborative exploration. She works with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and then adapts methods so the work feels practical and personally meaningful.

Online therapy with Onessa is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving clients options that fit busy schedules, geographic distance, or different communication styles. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity during life changes, connect with a licensed professional from anywhere, and choose the mode of interaction that feels most comfortable for the work at hand.
