Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing anger, grief, anxiety, depression, and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship troubles, addiction, low self-esteem, sleep problems, career transitions, and the fallout from trauma. Marsha writes short-term and longer-term goals with clients and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions.

Her style is respectful, compassionate, and non-threatening. She offers a calm presence and straightforward conversations so people can name what’s hard and try new ways of coping. Marsha aims to empower people to build skills and regain a sense of control over daily life.

Marsha has 14 years of experience working in varied settings. Her work has included mental health counseling in prisons, group anger management classes, support for dialysis patients, hospice care for veterans and their families, and counseling for pregnant and postpartum women. She holds a Master of Social Work from Florida State University and practices as an LCSW.

In sessions she uses a mix of approaches to match people’s needs. Techniques come from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused therapy, and client-centered work. These methods are used to address symptoms, improve relationships, and change unhelpful patterns.

Marsha invites people to set clear, reachable steps and to practice them between visits. She works with each person to fit therapy to their life and goals. International clients may be served; confirm session options before booking.

How her approaches shape online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms. Emotionally-Focused Therapy centers on identifying and shifting emotional responses within relationships to improve connection and reduce conflict.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they decide which methods to emphasize and adjust them as progress is made.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how sessions will be scheduled. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or workday openings for sessions. Marsha aims to help clients use tools in daily life, whether sessions are remote or arranged another way, and to set practical steps between meetings.
