About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He offers a calm, straightforward style and focuses on practical steps people can use when stress, anxiety, grief, or life changes feel overwhelming. Andrew encourages a steady pace so people can build small, sustainable changes that matter to daily life.
His work is collaborative and client-centered. He listens closely and uses encouragement, intuition, and concrete tools to support progress.
Background and approach
Sessions can include writing exercises, role play, and take-home suggestions to practice between meetings. Andrew draws from several approaches to match what each person needs. He uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns, and he uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.
Mindfulness practices are included to help manage strong emotions and stress in the moment. He also integrates existential themes when clients are facing meaning questions or major life transitions. Spiritual beliefs can be part of the conversation when clients want that included in their therapy work.
Andrew works with people dealing with depression, career changes, relationship and family problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and recovery from trauma or emotional abuse. He does not provide treatment for addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders and suggests seeking clinicians who specialize in those areas when relevant.
Practical approaches for online therapy and emotional growth
Andrew often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand connection, trust, and repeated relationship reactions so they can move toward healthier responses. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to help manage stress and strong emotions through simple present-moment practices. These methods are useful for coping with anxiety, grief, and life transitions because they teach skills you can use right away. Choosing the right approach is collaborative; Andrew will work with each person to figure out which combination of methods fits their goals and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is an issue or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging can be used for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
