About Osa
Osa Holmes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 25 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and codependency patterns.
She uses straightforward conversation to identify what is causing the most strain. Sessions focus on practical steps to reduce anxiety, improve boundaries, and manage cravings or mood swings. Osa draws on familiar techniques from cognitive behavioral work and mindfulness to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different reactions.
Her approach also pays attention to attachment history and how early relationships shape current behavior. That can mean looking at communication patterns, work and family roles, and reactions to abandonment or loss. Motivational interviewing is used when people want help changing habits or reducing substance use.
Osa has spent many years in schools, community mental health, and private practice. That background informs a calm, task-focused style that emphasizes clear goals and small steps. She has experience assessing behavioral health needs for children, teens, and adults, and has provided testimony in professional settings.
In sessions she prioritizes what the person bringing the concern wants to address first. Typical topics include coping with mood disorders, attention challenges, intimacy struggles, and caregiver stress. People can expect direct discussion about options and reasonable next steps.
Clients who choose to work with her begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Her practice serves people in Florida and also accepts international clients who want to work in English.
How sessions work
How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It helps with recurring patterns around trust, abandonment, and how people connect or withdraw in close relationships.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience. The therapist listens and helps the person name their priorities, then supports practical steps toward those goals.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches people to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, mood problems, and changing habits that keep someone stuck.
Choosing an approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those aims, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative planning continues as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect without being on camera for the whole session. These practical benefits can help someone build consistent work on boundaries, cravings, mood management, or communication skills.
