About Roxanne
Roxanne Parsa is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and life direction. Sessions are offered in English and Persian. She also brings coaching experience to support practical goals alongside therapy.
Roxanne uses a mix of approaches to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. She draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That helps when attachment, jealousy, or repeating family problems are part of the picture.
She also uses somatic work to notice what the body is saying during stress. Paying attention to sensations can help when trauma, anxiety, or addiction have left people feeling disconnected from themselves. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with grounding and managing intense emotions.
In sessions she talks through specific relationship issues such as infidelity, blended family stress, polyamory or non-monogamous arrangements, and codependency patterns like people-pleasing or trouble saying no. She supports parents who are overwhelmed, caregivers under strain, and people navigating divorce or separation.
Roxanne frames therapy as practical and directional. She combines insight about family of origin and attachment with hands-on coaching when clients want clearer next steps. To begin, readers are asked to use the online matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Roxanne uses psychodynamic work to trace how past relationships influence current behavior and reactions. Online sessions using this approach can focus on patterns that repeat in relationships, attachment issues, and family of origin concerns through conversation and reflection.She also uses somatic methods to help people notice bodily sensations tied to stress or trauma. In remote sessions this often means guided attention to breath, posture, and movement cues that can reduce overwhelm and reconnect people with present-moment experience.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Roxanne will work with clients to decide which mix of psychodynamic, somatic, mindfulness, or trauma-focused techniques fits their goals and comfort. That selection is revisited as needs change.
