About Andrew

Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience who works from a collaborative, relational, and client-centered stance. He emphasizes deep listening, compassion, and encouragement while partnering with clients to identify the changes that matter most for their well-being.

Background and approach

Andrew draws on a range of therapeutic methods to support people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family difficulties, career transitions, parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, and related concerns such as codependency, control issues, and communication problems.

His practice integrates approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based work, existential and mindfulness perspectives, and client-centered principles to tailor care to each person’s needs. He also offers expressive tools such as writing and role play and can suggest therapeutic assignments and resources to reinforce progress between sessions.

Andrew welcomes clients who want to explore spiritual dimensions as part of therapy while noting that he does not treat addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders and that some issues may be better addressed in-person by specialists.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Andrew often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and practice practical coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach he draws on to explore how early relationship patterns influence current connections and to improve emotional regulation and relational skills. He also uses client-centered principles that emphasize empathy, acceptance, and collaboration to create a supportive environment where clients can clarify values and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds. This partnership helps tailor interventions and supports clients in finding the most effective path forward.

Online sessions are offered by means of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules or limited local options. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access support from Massachusetts without needing to travel to an office, while allowing different communication styles and levels of engagement to suit individual comfort.
