About Oquandryia
Oquandryia Ross is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She brings seven years of professional experience and a calm, straightforward style to sessions. She aims to make it easier to take the first step toward support.
She focuses on improving self-esteem and motivation while helping people cope with major life changes. Practical strategies are paired with space to talk through difficult feelings.
Background and approach
Conversations are aimed at clear, manageable steps rather than long lectures. Oquandryia creates an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can name what is hard. She listens for patterns around control, impulsivity, and communication that contribute to distress.
From there she and the client decide on simple skills to try between sessions. Work often addresses relationships indirectly through communication problems, divorce and separation challenges, or feelings of isolation and loneliness. She also supports people working on forgiveness, self-love, and clarifying life purpose.
Sessions are offered in English and are provided while the therapist is licensed to practice in Mississippi and Tennessee. Her credentials include Licensed Clinical Social Worker, abbreviated as LCSW. The goal is steady progress through clear goals and practical tools.
Evidence-based approaches for online care
Oquandryia uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to clients' goals. One common approach focuses on teaching practical coping skills for anxiety and stress - clients learn breathing, grounding, and short behavioral strategies to reduce intense symptoms and manage daily challenges. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care, which helps people name past harms, reduce reactivity, and build safer ways of relating to their emotions and needs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their situation, goals, and comfort level. Together they try strategies and adjust the plan based on what helps most in real life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit busy schedules. Video sessions allow more face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options help make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
