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, depression, grief, relationship and family concerns, and parenting strain. He also helps people coping with major life changes, compassion fatigue, and work-related pressure.
Andrew uses a collaborative, client-centered approach. Sessions focus on listening, practical feedback, and small steps people can try between meetings. He offers therapy assignments and supportive resources to help people carry progress into daily life.
His work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside existential and mindfulness perspectives. He uses narrative and expressive methods such as writing or role play when helpful. He is open to integrating a client's spirituality into therapy if that matters to them.
Andrew has worked with people dealing with family of origin issues, communication problems, grief and loss, and emotional abuse recovery. He also lists blended family issues and parenthood concerns among his focus areas. He does not provide addiction treatment, work with sexual trauma, or treat eating disorders and recommends seeking other care for those concerns.
Sessions begin with identifying goals and practical next steps. The emphasis is on clear, direct conversation and on building tools people can use between sessions. He aims to help people notice patterns, reduce unhelpful habits, and try different ways of handling difficult moments.
How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current responses. It helps people understand why certain relationship situations feel activating and supports changing interaction habits.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts, try behavioral experiments, and reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood.
Mindfulness-based ideas help people notice present-moment experience without judgment. Simple attention practices can lower reactivity and make it easier to choose different responses in stressful family moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That might mean trying CBT techniques for mood, then using attachment ideas to address relationship patterns, or adding mindfulness practices between sessions.

They also let people use written exercises or role-play work from their usual environment, which can help apply new skills to daily life.
