Onessa Robertson, LICSW, LCSW

Onessa Robertson is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Florida with 14 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, family and parenting concerns. She also addresses grief, anger, career shifts, compassion fatigue, and ADHD-related challenges.

Her approach mixes practical, talk-based methods. Sessions often involve looking at current patterns, learning small skills to manage symptoms, and naming what matters to the client. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take workable steps toward them.

She also uses client-centered techniques that emphasize listening and responding to each person’s priorities. For relationship concerns she incorporates the Gottman Method to look at interaction patterns and communication. Motivational Interviewing shows up when people feel stuck about change or decisions.

Onessa has experience working with individuals, couples, and families in both local and international contexts. She has supported people coping with sexual violence, trauma, abuse, and major life transitions. Her work includes helping people process family of origin issues, separation and divorce concerns, and caregiving stress.

People can expect clear, direct conversation about next steps and practical ways to apply what they learn between sessions. She asks about goals early and adjusts approaches based on what helps most as therapy continues.
