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 focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, anger, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. Her work also covers parenting strain, caregiver stress, career transitions, and coping with major life changes.
Her approach combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy among other methods. She aims to help people build new ways of responding to painful thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions center on practical steps, clearer communication, and making values-based choices. Robertson has worked in both local and international settings and brings a flexible style to each meeting. She adapts methods to the goals a person brings, using tools from Motivational Interviewing and the Gottman Method when they fit.
The focus is on what helps someone move forward day to day. In sessions she listens, reflects, and offers concrete strategies for managing impulses, anger, or overwhelming emotions. People can expect conversations that address patterns from family of origin issues, codependency, control struggles, or forgiveness work.
The aim is to help people find clearer choices and regain a sense of direction. She conducts therapy in English and accepts international clients. People looking to begin are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports identifying personal values and taking small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life changes.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting therapeutic relationship. It provides a space to talk through difficult emotions like grief, shame, or relationship hurt while the therapist follows the person’s pace and goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT techniques can help with managing impulsivity, controlling anger responses, and reducing anxiety symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting over time if something isn’t working. This collaborative process helps people try different strategies and keep what proves helpful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face interaction, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging lets someone reflect between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy days and across different time zones.
