About Marsha
Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 14 years of experience. She focuses on life purpose concerns alongside stress, anxiety, grief, anger, depression, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, and coping with major life changes. Marsha lists ADHD, bipolar, intimacy-related issues, sleeping problems, and compassion fatigue among her areas of work.
Her approach is straightforward and person-centered. Sessions are respectful and aim to help people set practical goals. She uses talk therapy that pays attention to feelings and choices, then works on steps people can try between sessions.
Marsha trained at Florida State University, earning a Master of Social Work in 2010. Her background includes work in correctional settings, anger management groups, dialysis patient support, hospice work with veterans and families, and counseling for pregnant and postpartum women. These roles shaped her familiarity with a range of life stressors and transitions.
In sessions she draws on practical techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to address thoughts, behaviors, and values. She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused methods to help people manage emotions and improve relationships.
People who come to her often want clearer direction after a big change. She helps them notice what matters, try small behavioral changes, and track what works. Before booking, confirm current session options and how they fit your schedule.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and build small habits that reflect those values. It is useful when someone feels stuck and wants to reconnect with what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with anger and relationship difficulties.Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which approach or combination fits their needs, goals, and preferences. That fit can be adjusted as therapy progresses and as practical results become clearer.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. They also allow people to continue working with a licensed professional when relocating or managing caregiving or health constraints, while the therapist helps adapt tools and exercises to the online setting.
