About Ossnat

Ossnat (Ossie) Tovia is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside a wide range of mood and stress issues. She speaks English and Hebrew and brings decades of clinical experience to conversations about anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and everyday parenting challenges.

Her style is direct and respectful, aimed at making a worried parent feel heard and supported from the first session. Ossie draws on practical methods that are easy to use between meetings.

Background and approach

She often helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck and then tries small changes to get different results. Sessions can include short exercises, new ways of thinking, and attention practices to build calm and focus. With 29 years of experience and the Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential (LMHC, FL LMHC MH6897), she adapts plans to each person’s needs.

That might mean addressing attention and memory challenges linked to ADHD, exploring mood swings, or working through issues tied to relationships and family dynamics. Her training includes cognitive behavioral tools and mindfulness, along with psychodynamic ideas and solution-focused strategies. These approaches are used as needed to manage symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning.

Ossie offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling based on therapist availability.

How Ossie’s Approaches Work Online

Ossie uses cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness therapy in ways that translate well to online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and increase calm between sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and daily life, then suggest the methods that fit best. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so techniques match what is actually helpful.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These formats let parents and busy adults fit short tools and exercises into their schedules and practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can guide the process remotely while tailoring exercises and homework to each person’s situation.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.
