About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career challenges, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting strain, anger, compassion fatigue, and other life changes. He also focuses on issues like abandonment, attachment struggles, blended family challenges, caregiver stress, codependency, and problems that stem from family of origin patterns.
Andrew uses a collaborative, relational, client-centered way of working. Sessions are conversational and grounded in active listening. He offers practical tasks and resources to practice between sessions, such as writing exercises and role-play, to help people apply what they learn to daily life.
His approach draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at close relationships and how they shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. He also uses Existential and mindfulness-informed perspectives to help people face meaning, values, and present-moment coping without minimizing real distress.
Andrew welcomes clients who want to include spirituality in their work and can integrate spiritually focused themes when relevant. He is clear about limits: he does not treat addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders, and notes these concerns may be better addressed in-person or with a clinician who specializes in them.
People who want to begin are invited to follow the site process to match and schedule an initial session. He practices in Massachusetts and conducts work in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
Andrew commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early and current relationships affect patterns in close connections; online sessions can be used to talk through those patterns and try new ways of relating. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavioral experiments that people can practice between sessions. Mindfulness-informed techniques are used to develop skills for staying present and reducing reactivity in stressful social situations.Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. He will work with each person to clarify goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps. That process is practical and paced to a person's needs and preferences rather than fixed in advance.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit counseling into a busy life - they can be easier to schedule around work, reduce travel time, and make brief check-ins possible when a full in-person visit would be harder. Online work also makes it straightforward to use written exercises, role-play, and homework between sessions so progress continues day to day.
