Marsha Oxamendi

Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida-based licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing grief, anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship strain. She works with people dealing with addiction, trauma, caregiving stress, and major life changes. Marsha aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk and make practical steps forward.

Her style is warm, compassionate, and non-threatening. Sessions are meant to empower people rather than lecture them. She listens first, then helps set realistic goals and plans that fit daily life.

Marsha earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 2010 and holds a Florida LCSW license. Over 14 years she has provided counseling in a range of settings. That includes hospice care, work with veterans, dialysis patients, prison populations, and group anger-management programs.

In therapy she draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, client-centered work, and emotionally focused therapy. These approaches are used to address symptoms and to build skills for coping and communication.

People who come to her often want straightforward help with sleep, self-esteem, coping after loss, career stress, or the emotional strain of caregiving. Marsha focuses on practical tools and steady support to help people navigate difficult moments and plan for the future.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and trying new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, or sleep trouble. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on understanding emotional responses and improving connection in relationships and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Marsha will listen to concerns, discuss goals, and suggest methods that fit the person's needs and preferences. The choice of approach can be adjusted as therapy progresses to better match what helps.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from different locations if travel is difficult. Licensed professionals will work with each person to shape sessions that fit daily life and the issues they want to address.
