About Andrew
Andrew Oxman is a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with 26 years of clinical experience. He listens carefully and works collaboratively with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or life transitions.

His approach is largely client-centered and relational. He uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their problems.
Background and approach
Attachment-based ideas guide conversations about close relationships and how they affect daily life. Cognitive behavioral tools are used when people need concrete ways to manage thoughts, moods, and behaviors. Sessions may include reflective conversation, guided writing, and gentle role playing to practice new responses.
He offers suggestions and brief assignments to try between meetings so progress carries into everyday life. Spiritual values can be included when clients want them as part of the work. Andrew is careful about scope of practice.
He does not provide treatment for addictions, sexual trauma, or eating disorders, and notes that some concerns are best handled in person. He focuses on helping people address depression, anxiety, parenting strain, family problems, grief, and career or relationship stress. People who want steady, empathic listening paired with practical techniques often feel the approach fits.
The emphasis is on collaboration, clarity, and gradual steps toward better daily functioning.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Andrew often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell themselves. This approach helps separate a person from their problem and find alternative ways of talking about difficult experiences. Attachment-Based Therapy is another frequent influence; it focuses on how close relationships shape feelings and behavior and is useful for relationship and family concerns.The choice of approach is a collaborative conversation. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods make the most sense based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That plan can shift over time as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper relational work, phone sessions can fit into a busy day or when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or steady support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress.
