About Oneida
Oneida Burgos is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years of experience helping people work through depression, anxiety, grief, stress, and life transitions. She practices from a strength-based perspective that highlights each person’s resilience. Her style is warm and collaborative, and she speaks English and Spanish.
Her background includes hospice and end-of-life counseling, and long experience supporting people who face loss and change. She uses practical tools to address addiction and relationship concerns while also helping with trauma and abuse recovery.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings. Oneida blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centered methods. That means she helps people tell and revise the stories they live by, clarify values, and build small habits that match what matters most.
Cognitive Behavioral and Solution-Focused tools are added when helpful to change unhelpful thoughts and set concrete goals. She aims for a calm, nonjudgmental tone in sessions and encourages active collaboration. People leave with simple practices to try and a clearer sense of direction.
Language and cultural sensitivity are part of her approach. Oneida works with adults in Virginia and brings two decades of front-line social work experience to each meeting. Her approach is plainspoken and focused on usable change rather than jargon.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How narrative and acceptance approaches work online
Oneida often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about their lives and to find new, more helpful ways to understand themselves. That approach can be useful for grief, relationship problems, and life transitions because it focuses on meaning and perspective.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. ACT is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress when the goal is to live more in line with what matters.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. Together they set short-term goals and check what feels useful, adjusting techniques as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls let people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging fit brief check-ins, quick coping skills, or scheduling around busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to practice new habits between sessions.
