About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, career transitions, relationship and family strain, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, compassion fatigue, and related life changes.
He practices in a collaborative, relational, client-centered way. Sessions focus on listening, exploring patterns, and practical steps clients can try between meetings. He often uses writing and role play as tools for noticing and changing unhelpful reactions.
Andrew draws on attachment-based ideas to help people understand how early relationships shape current responses. He also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Mindfulness practices are offered to build awareness and calm in the moment.
Clients who want to include spiritual beliefs in therapy can bring that into sessions. Andrew can suggest therapeutic assignments and resources to support changes in daily life. He also addresses issues such as grief, family of origin problems, communication difficulties, and forgiveness.
He does not provide addiction treatment, and he does not treat sexual trauma or eating disorders. For concerns about addiction or those specific traumas, he advises seeking a clinician who focuses on those areas. Andrew welcomes people prepared to look at patterns and try concrete strategies for handling anger and other concerns.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Andrew commonly uses Attachment-Based ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to guide online work. Attachment-based ideas help people see how early relationships affect current reactions and relationship patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger and stress cycling and then trying small behavioral experiments to change them.He also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work grounded in the client's concerns and perspective. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, checking in and adjusting as needed.
Confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to use written assignments and role play during sessions in ways that translate to everyday routines. Licensed professionals can help arrange an approach and cadence of meetings that fit practical life constraints.
