About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, self-esteem struggles, career transitions, parenting questions, and compassion fatigue. He also addresses relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, and coping with major life changes. Andrew values a respectful, collaborative relationship in the room and helps clients take practical steps toward feeling better.
Andrew uses a client-centered, relational way of working. He listens closely and offers encouragement, intuition, and gentle challenge when it helps. He believes people have the capacity to change in ways that matter to them and often suggests short assignments and resources clients can use between sessions.
His background includes many therapy strands that shape his style. He draws from attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral approaches, existential themes, and mindfulness practices to tailor work to each person. Narrative and expressive techniques such as writing or role play are also part of his toolbox when those methods fit the client’s goals.
Andrew is open to integrating a client’s spirituality into therapy when that is important to the person. He has helped people work through family-of-origin issues, grief and loss, communication problems, and healing after emotional abuse. He is not licensed to treat addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders and will guide people to other professionals when those issues are primary.

How his approaches fit into online work
Andrew draws from attachment-based work to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. This approach helps when people struggle with connection, trust, or repeating old relationship patterns. He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and try concrete changes in behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. The therapist and client can try an approach for a few sessions and adjust it if something else seems more helpful.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, or allow a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. It also allows use of written assignments, mindfulness exercises, and narrative or expressive tasks between meetings to support progress.
