Ossnat (Ossie) Tovia

Ossnat (Ossie) Tovia is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 29 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and the daily struggles that come with life changes. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she aims to make the first step feel easier for anyone who is worried about reaching out.

In sessions she focuses on practical difficulties like concentration, memory, and focus that can come with ADHD. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressure, trauma and abuse, anger, bipolar concerns, and LGBT-related stress. Ossie listens closely and adapts the conversation to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

She draws on a mix of approaches to fit what a client needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness Therapy brings breathing and attention exercises to manage stress and mood. Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns from the past that affect current behavior, and Solution-Focused Therapy keeps work goal-oriented and practical.

Ossie will collaborate with clients to set clear, manageable goals and track progress over time. She encourages gentle steps toward change and prioritizes realistic skills people can use between meetings. Her work is grounded in real everyday concerns, aiming to improve how people cope and move forward.

Sessions are conducted in English and Hebrew and are based in Florida. If a reader wants to begin, they are asked to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

How Ossie uses therapy approaches online

Ossie uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing new behaviors, and tracking progress between sessions, which can fit well into everyday life.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing exercises that reduce reactivity and help with stress and mood management. These practices are brief and can be integrated into daily routines so they feel manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then recommend a path to try. That choice is revisited as clients learn what helps them most, making the process collaborative and flexible.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the specific session formats available before booking. Online options can make therapy easier to fit into busy schedules, allow shorter check-in conversations when needed, and reduce travel time. Discussing practical needs and daily routines with the therapist helps match a scheduling pattern that supports steady progress.
