Oneida Burgos, LCSW

Oneida Burgos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma, addiction, and relationship concerns. She practices in Virginia and works in both English and Spanish. Her approach centers on a person's strengths and resilience rather than on labels.

She uses clear, practical methods to help clients manage symptoms and find better ways to cope. Sessions focus on real-life goals and small, doable steps. Oneida blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with acceptance-based and narrative ideas to tailor work to each person.

She also brings experience in hospice and end-of-life counseling, helping people and their loved ones face difficult transitions with honesty and support. That background influences how she holds grief and loss in session. Conversations often include planning, meaning-making, and ways to reduce emotional overwhelm.

Oneida practices in a collaborative, respectful way. She listens closely, reflects what she hears, and invites clients to try strategies between sessions. Progress is tracked with simple, measurable steps so people can see what changes help.

People who prefer a calm, strengths-focused style may find this approach useful. The work is practical and paced to the client's needs, with room for both problem-solving and deeper personal exploration.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Oneida integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy into online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and values-guided action, helping people move toward what matters even when feelings are difficult.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will partner with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and daily life. That collaboration includes trying methods and adjusting them based on what helps most.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face while keeping travel time down. Phone sessions can fit into a break or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging can be useful for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to use the method that works best for the person's routine.
