About Marsha

Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports people coping with trauma, relationship and intimacy-related problems, sleep difficulties, career shifts, bipolar challenges, and ADHD.

Her approach is practical and focused on changing unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centered techniques to help people notice patterns and try different responses. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when those methods fit the situation.

Marsha trained at Florida State University, earning a Master of Social Work in 2010. Since then she has worked in a range of settings, including counseling individuals in correctional settings, leading anger-management groups, supporting dialysis patients, and working with veterans and people in hospice care.

Sessions focus on clear goals and practical skills. Typical steps include identifying troubling thoughts, practicing new behavioral strategies, and reviewing what worked between meetings. Simple, structured tools are used so people can test changes in daily life.

Marsha works with people from varied backgrounds and accepts international clients. She uses her LCSW credential and years of practice to offer straightforward, skills-based support for common and complex concerns.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Marsha commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to change how problems play out. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and values-based actions so people can keep doing what matters even with difficult feelings.

She approaches the choice of method as a collaborative process. The therapist and client review goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what helps. Deciding which technique to use happens over a few sessions rather than being fixed up front.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins, or using sessions during a break from work. Licensed professionals can also combine skill practice and homework between meetings so progress continues outside sessions.
