About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He focuses on helping men and others facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, career struggles, depression, relationship and family concerns, trauma and parenting challenges. He encourages people to take the first step and brings calm listening and steady support to the work.
Andrew uses a collaborative, relational, and client-centered style. Sessions aim to identify what matters most to the person and to build practical ways to make change. He offers counseling that can include writing, role playing, therapy assignments, and resources to strengthen progress between sessions.
His methods draw on attachment-based ideas, cognitive behavioral techniques, existential reflection, and mindfulness practices. He also integrates spiritual concerns when clients wish to include them in their therapy. The approach is grounded in the belief that people can change in ways that improve their well-being.
Andrew has helped people with grief and loss, depression, anxiety, life and career transitions, communication problems, and healing from difficult family-of-origin patterns, including emotional abuse. He does not provide addiction treatment, and he does not treat sexual trauma or eating disorders; those concerns are best addressed by other clinicians.
People who choose to work with Andrew begin by describing their concerns and goals, then shape a plan together. The focus is on steady, practical steps that fit into everyday life and support long-term healing.
How attachment, CBT, and mindfulness inform online work
Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect current reactions. It can be useful for improving communication and repairing trust. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which is helpful for anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm in everyday moments.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Clients and therapist review progress together and adjust the plan as needed.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also let people try short check-ins when life gets hectic or use practices like writing exercises between meetings. Discuss session length and frequency during the initial scheduling step to find a rhythm that fits everyday life.
