Andrew Oxman, LMHC

Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He aims to help people who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and major life changes. He works in a calm, conversational way and encourages practical steps that can fit into everyday life.

Andrew uses a collaborative, client-centered style that focuses on listening and building a working relationship. He draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral tools to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.

Clients who want to include spiritual beliefs in their work are welcome to bring that into sessions. He sometimes suggests written exercises or role-play to try out different responses and strengthen progress between meetings. Sessions can include targeted tasks or simple reflective conversation depending on what a person needs.

Andrew has supported people through grief, career transitions, family-of-origin patterns, and relationship struggles. He does not provide treatment for addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders and recommends seeking a clinician who focuses on those concerns when they arise. He also notes that some addiction and trauma work may be best handled in person.

Practical tools, steady listening, and a focus on what matters most guide his work. People looking for help with coping, communication, or rebuilding after loss often find this straightforward, problem-focused approach useful.

How his approaches fit into online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. It helps people who notice repeating patterns in close relationships and want to try different ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It offers practical exercises to test new thoughts and behaviors for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. That choice can shift over time as new issues come up or progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can still make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or making scheduling across different locations simpler. They also support using written exercises and in-session role play in ways that translate well to remote meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment and CBT techniques to remote sessions while focusing on what works for the individual's daily routine.
