Osa Holmes, LCSW

Osa Holmes, LCSW, brings 25 years of clinical experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, grief, and parenting concerns. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by listening closely, pointing out patterns, and offering practical steps you can try between sessions.

Her style is warm and straightforward. Sessions are person-centered and collaborative. She uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing are also part of her toolkit to support motivation and emotional regulation.

Osa has worked across schools, mental health, and substance use settings, and she has experience assessing behavioral health for state agencies. That background informs a practical approach to concerns like trauma histories, mood disorders, and addiction. She also has experience supporting people around adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, and communication challenges.

In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on skills that help in daily life. She helps people manage panic, reduce compulsive or addictive behaviors, and rebuild trust in relationships. Parents can expect concrete strategies for behavior, boundaries, and managing transitions.

She practices in Florida and offers work that aims to reduce suffering and increase coping. To begin, use the continue button on this profile and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule a time based on therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Osa uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Attachment-based approaches look at how early relationships shape current behavior and emotional responses, which can help with intimacy, abandonment issues, and family patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors, which often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is something she treats as a team effort. She will talk with you about your goals, try tools together, and adjust methods based on what helps. The work is collaborative and paced to your needs and preferences.

For online therapy specifics, please confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not listed in the profile. In general, working with a licensed professional remotely can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can also allow people to build skills between appointments and bring real-life situations into discussion more quickly.
