Andrew Oxman , LMHC

Andrew Oxman is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He offers a relational, collaborative, and client-centered style that draws on deep listening, encouragement, compassion, and clinical intuition to support personal growth and lasting change. He believes people have the capacity to change in ways that matter for their wellbeing and works alongside them to identify goals and practical steps toward those changes.

His practice integrates a range of therapeutic perspectives, including family systems theory, grief counseling, psychodynamic and humanistic approaches, Rogerian emotionally focused work, spiritually informed methods, and expressive techniques such as writing and role playing. Therapy assignments and supplementary resources are available to help clients apply what they are learning between sessions and strengthen progress in daily life. He welcomes clients who wish to incorporate spiritual themes into their therapeutic work.

Andrew has supported people through grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life and career transitions, communication challenges, and healing from patterns tied to family of origin issues, including emotional abuse. He is not licensed to treat addictions and asks that anyone concerned about an addiction seek a counselor who treats those conditions; addictions may be better addressed with in-person care. He does not treat sexual trauma or eating disorders, which may also be better served in person.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options with Andrew Oxman

Andrew Oxman integrates several evidence-informed approaches to support clients in online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and relational expectations - it helps people improve trust, intimacy, and connection in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaboration; it provides a supportive space where clients explore values, choices, and personal growth at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills, often helping with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow people to work with licensed professionals from home or elsewhere. These options can make scheduling easier, reduce travel time, and increase access to consistent support while preserving the therapeutic focus and relationship at the center of treatment.
