Many times, there are two main suspects: light and temperature. Is your oasis picture quite recent? Then I don't think it's light. Though I do think it might be just a little bit dehydrated. More on that later.
The temperature issue is that many flower shop phals need a slight drop in temperature to get the message that is blooming time. Maybe your rooms are temperature controlled? If so, due to its placement quite aways from the window, it probably doesn't have much fluctuation in temp to speak of. In this case, the solution is simple: place it into a slightly cooler room for a while. Or directly in the vicinity of your window (provided there is winter where you are right now, of course, and the temp significantly below your room temperature) ~5Β°C/10Β°F for a few weeks should be enough, provided your phal is healthy. It will get the message that it's time to prepare a spike and should be blooming a few months from now.
Other problems could be the general health of the orchid or stress. When was your last repot, i.e., is the medium still okay and are the roots fine. Are you fertilizing with an orchid specific fertilizer according to instructions? Do you water enough? Are there other factors that stress it like pests, drafty, too cold or too dark surroundings, changes in surroundings. As for watering in particular: I don't know if it's just in this picture, but phal leaves should always be firm and able to stand up by themselves. Floppy -or worse - wrinkly leaves, point to a slight lack of water. It could also just be that it's preparing to shed the bottom leaf since the other leaves are looking great, but I thought I would mention it since we are troubleshooting already

It also helps if you put them near a chilly window for a. Out of months to induce dormancy. That way she will rest and build up energy. Then when she starts to show signs of growth you can mist her with
Miracle Grow Orchid Bloom Booster. Itβs essentially just a liquid fertilizer to spray on her leaves.
These 2 little tricks should get her to bloom when it starts to warm back up.
Her leaves look quite healthy. They also really like an orchid pot the kind with holes to give plenty of air circulation. My phal orchids are in a mix of 50% orchid bark 50% sphagnum moss.
I water when nearly dry.
