Onessa Robertson

Onessa Robertson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are ready to make changes and heal from pain, stress, and difficult life events.

Robertson uses a flexible, client-centered approach. She listens and helps people gain insight into patterns that cause distress. She also supports practical change so daily life feels more manageable.

Her work addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship strain, parenting stress, grief, and anger. She also helps with career stress, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and navigating life transitions.

Her clinical style draws on several methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and the Gottman Method. Treatment choices are guided by what each person wants to accomplish and by their goals.

Onessa has provided services on local and international levels and has used a range of expressive and strengths-based techniques. She helps people notice unhelpful habits, develop new ways of coping, and practice skills that support lasting change.

If someone is ready to take the next step, Robertson encourages a straightforward first move: complete the matching process and schedule an initial session to begin setting goals together.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values, which can ease feelings like anxiety, depression, and anger. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on finding and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering clear skills for stress, mood, and trauma-related symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to strengthen a person’s motivation for change and can be useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s goals, preferences, and everyday demands. This is a cooperative process that often blends techniques rather than relying on a single method.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by saving commute time, offering shorter check-ins when needed, and allowing participation from different locations. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while they work toward clearer thinking, improved relationships, and better anger and stress management.
