About Marsha

Marsha Oxamendi is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, sleep problems, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She offers a calm, respectful approach that aims to empower people to take steps toward better rest and wellbeing. Her style is compassionate and non-threatening, suited for someone who wants straightforward support.

She brings 14 years of experience working with many kinds of challenges. Marsha has supported people dealing with anger, addictions, trauma, intimacy-related issues, bipolar concerns, ADHD, and career or family stress. She has also worked with older adults, dialysis patients, veterans, and people in hospice situations as part of her past roles.

Marsha uses practical methods drawn from several evidence-informed approaches. Sessions often focus on recognizing unhelpful thoughts, building new coping skills, and practicing steps that promote better sleep and daily routines. The emphasis is on small, workable changes rather than long lectures.

She earned a Master of Social Work from Florida State University in 2010 and holds a Florida LCSW. That background informs work with individuals and groups in settings like anger management and hospice support.

People who meet with Marsha can expect a warm, collaborative tone. She invites questions and aims to help clients set realistic goals for sleep, mood, and relationships. To begin, clients fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and how they fit online

Marsha uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test small behavior changes. This approach can be practical for sleep problems, anxiety, and mood concerns because it focuses on things people can try between sessions.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and move toward values-driven goals. That method can help with stress, grief, and coping with life changes. Her client-centered stance means sessions are guided by the person's needs and pace rather than a fixed agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match goals, sleeping patterns, and daily routines. Clients and therapist check in regularly and adapt techniques as progress is made.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can help tailor homework and sleep practice to suit each person's life and schedule.
