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, family, trauma, parenting, and life purpose concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Persian.

Roxanne helps people untangle repeated patterns in relationships and family life. She talks through attachment concerns, blended family stresses, infidelity, and codependency. She also addresses addiction, anger, anxiety, grief, and the effects of abuse and trauma.

Her approach mixes mindful awareness, body-centered work, and psychodynamic ideas. That means clients spend time noticing feelings in the moment, tracking how the body holds stress, and tracing relationship patterns back to early experience. Practical coaching techniques are used when people want clearer next steps for work or life direction.

Sessions focus on concrete changes as well as understanding old patterns. Roxanne will bring gentle prompts, somatic grounding, and reflective questions to help people test new ways of relating. She works with people who identify with kink and non-monogamous relationship styles, and she addresses multicultural and family-of-origin concerns without judgment.

People who choose her report a mix of talk, movement awareness, and focused practical planning. She asks about current stresses and goals at the start of therapy and adjusts her way of working over time. To book, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches translate to online work

Roxanne uses Mindfulness Therapy to help people slow down and notice thoughts and feelings as they happen; this is useful for anxiety, relationship tension, and decision-related stress. She also draws on Somatic Therapy to help clients recognize physical sensations tied to emotions and trauma, which can support managing reactivity and grounding during difficult conversations.

Choosing the right approach is treated as a team effort. She will talk with clients about what feels most helpful, try techniques in session, and adjust methods based on goals and comfort. The therapist frames work as collaborative rather than fixed, so clients can see what fits before committing to a single route.

The original listing does not specify session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find it's simpler to try different techniques remotely and then bring successful tools into daily life.
