Andrew Oxman , LMHC

Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts (LMHC) with 26 years of clinical experience. He adopts a collaborative, relational, and client-centered style, combining deep listening, encouragement, compassion, and clinical intuition to support meaningful change. He operates from the belief that each person has inherent capacity for growth and works to help clients make changes that matter for their well-being.

His practice integrates a range of therapeutic perspectives, including family systems theory, grief counseling, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, Rogerian emotionally focused and spiritually oriented work, as well as expressive techniques such as writing and role playing. Therapy assignments and a variety of supportive resources are offered to help strengthen progress between sessions and apply insights to daily life.

Andrew has experience assisting people coping with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life and career transitions, communication difficulties, and patterns rooted in family-of-origin dysfunction, including emotional abuse. He supports the integration of psychotherapy and spirituality for clients who wish to include spiritual concerns in their work, and he has welcomed clients who pursued that integration in therapy.

He is not licensed to treat addictions. If there is concern about an addiction to substances or behaviors - including food, alcohol, street drugs, prescription pills, pornography, sex, gambling, internet or gaming, or marijuana - clients are advised to seek a counselor licensed to treat addictions. Andrew Oxman does not treat sexual trauma or eating disorders, and those concerns may be better addressed with in-person treatment.

Adapting Attachment, Person-Centered, and CBT to Online Care

Andrew Oxman draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early bonds shape present-day connections - it can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and family issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client's own capacity for growth - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and navigating life transitions. CBT is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and address depressive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew Oxman works collaboratively with individuals to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds. Licensed professionals and therapists commonly tailor techniques to each person's circumstances to support steady progress.

Online therapy makes these approaches more accessible by offering flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats allow scheduling that fits varied routines, reduce travel time, and support continuity of care, enabling individuals to engage in therapy in ways that suit their lives and needs.
