Oneida Burgos, LCSW

Oneida Burgos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with twenty years of experience helping people navigate stress, grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, and relationship concerns. She practices in Virginia and speaks both English and Spanish. Her work often includes support around hospice and end-of-life questions. She uses a strengths-based, person-centered approach that starts by noticing what is already working in your life. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on small shifts that build resilience over time. Oneida aims to make therapy straightforward and respectful so people feel heard and understood. Her style blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques. She also draws on narrative and solution-focused methods to help people reframe painful experiences and set clear goals. The goal is to match tools to each person’s needs rather than follow a single formula. Oneida emphasizes cultural sensitivity and works with Spanish-speaking clients when preferred. She helps people dealing with family stress, life transitions, and the emotional demands of caregiving. Her practice prioritizes practical coping strategies alongside longer-term personal growth. To begin, a prospective client completes a short questionnaire and schedules sessions based on availability. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and details about current session options should be confirmed before booking.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values despite painful feelings. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and complicated grief. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and building a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people can find their own solutions and make decisions that fit their lives.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily demands to pick techniques that make sense. That collaboration helps shape whether sessions lean toward ACT exercises, cognitive behavioral tools, narrative reframing, or short solution-focused steps.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists can suggest homework, breathing or grounding exercises to try between sessions, and step-by-step plans for dealing with stress, making therapy more practical and doable alongside everyday life.
