About Ossnat
Ossnat (Ossie) Tovia offers care for people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, attention and focus difficulties, and a range of mood and relationship challenges. She works with concerns that include bipolar symptoms, anger, trauma and abuse, LGBT issues, parenting struggles, and coping with life changes.
Background and approach
Her practice also addresses abandonment and attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, DMDD, family problems, forgiveness, impulsivity, social anxiety and related young adult issues. As a Florida-licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), Ossie draws on nearly three decades of clinical experience to create individualized treatment plans.
She blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with mindfulness practices and psychodynamic exploration, and uses solution-focused strategies when clients want practical steps toward change. Her manner emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while adapting dialogue and interventions to each person’s needs.
Seeking change can feel daunting, and Ossie frames the therapeutic relationship as a supportive collaboration. She encourages clients to define their goals and partners with them to develop workable tools for improved mood, clearer focus, and healthier relationships.
Therapeutic approaches for online care and practical change
CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learning concrete skills to change them, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, attention and impulse challenges, and stress. Mindfulness therapy emphasizes present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that help reduce reactivity and support emotion regulation during everyday situations. Psychodynamic therapy explores underlying relational patterns and early influences that shape current feelings and reactions, offering deeper insight into recurring difficulties.Finding the right combination of methods is a collaborative process. Ossie works with each person to assess goals, preferences, and symptoms and then adapts interventions accordingly, blending skill-building with reflective work so treatment aligns with what the client hopes to achieve.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent care from Florida-licensed professionals when in-person visits are not practical, while allowing choice in how to communicate and practice new strategies between sessions.
