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, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and coping with life changes. He also lists family of origin issues among his focus areas.
Andrew takes a collaborative, client-centered approach. Sessions are relational and conversational. He listens, asks questions, and uses practical tasks and resources clients can try between meetings.
His work draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral techniques alongside existential and mindfulness approaches. He also uses narrative methods to help people reframe what they tell themselves about their history. This mix is offered in straightforward, talk-based sessions with occasional writing or role-play exercises when useful.
He is open to discussing spiritual themes if a client wants that included. He offers therapy assignments and resources to support what is discussed in sessions. Andrew does not claim to treat addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders and notes those concerns may be better addressed in person with clinicians who specialise in them.
Sessions are provided in English and take place in the context of his Massachusetts practice. People who want to address patterns that began in childhood - for example roles, expectations, and communication handed down in the family - will find family of origin issues listed among his areas of focus.

How his approaches translate to online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns of closeness and distance that stem from early relationships. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns in present-day interactions and to practice new ways of connecting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and actions that keep problems going. It often uses concrete exercises and homework that translate easily to remote sessions. Mindfulness therapy brings attention to present-moment experience and breathing or grounding practices that can be taught and practiced during an online meeting.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so the work can be adjusted over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow a quicker check-in when needed. Some exercises, like written assignments or short behavioral tasks, work well between remote sessions and help keep progress moving.
