Marsha Oxamendi, LCSW

Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, anger, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family struggles, trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, career shifts, bipolar symptoms, ADHD, and related concerns. She focuses on thoughts and everyday habits as part of practical work in sessions. Marsha aims to support people through life changes and painful experiences with steady, respectful care.

Her counseling style is warm, compassionate, and non-threatening. Sessions are collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps clients set small, doable steps to reach their goals.

Marsha uses several therapeutic approaches to guide work in session. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and identify values that guide change. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to break patterns of thought and behavior that keep problems active. Client-centered principles shape how she responds, offering empathy and a steady presence.

Her background includes a Master of Social Work from Florida State University, earned in 2010, and 14 years of practice across many settings. That work has included counseling in corrections, group anger-management programs, support for dialysis patients, hospice support for veterans and their families, and perinatal care for pregnant and postpartum women.

Marsha aims to empower people to take practical steps toward well-being. She focuses on building everyday habits and coping skills that fit each person’s life, then adjusts approaches as needs change.

Approaches that translate to online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then choose actions based on their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, grief, and many everyday challenges. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing thought and behavior patterns that keep problems going. It often includes simple exercises and practice between sessions to shift habits. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judging relationship where the person leads the pace and goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they will try approaches that fit. That collaborative process means methods can be adjusted as progress unfolds.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy days, reduce travel time, and support steady follow-through on new habits. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or sessions focused on skills practice without needing in-person travel. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and client-centered methods to online sessions in similar ways to in-person work, with regular check-ins and homework to help change everyday thoughts and habits.
