Roxanne Parsa, LMFT

Roxanne Parsa is a California-licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people navigate relationship strains, jealousy, trauma, parenting stress, and questions about life purpose. She draws on seven years of clinical experience to guide conversations that lead to clearer thinking and more manageable emotions. Roxanne speaks English and Persian and combines a practical, down-to-earth style with careful listening.

In sessions she focuses on how past relationships shape current patterns. She uses psychodynamic ideas to identify repeating themes and attachment patterns. She also incorporates somatic work to help people notice how their body holds stress and trauma, and mindfulness practices to build steadier attention during hard moments.

Roxanne has supported people through infidelity, separation, blended family challenges, codependency, and struggles with addiction and relapse. She also addresses issues around BDSM, kink, and non-traditional relationship structures, and helps clients untangle family-of-origin problems. Her approach blends talk, practical coaching, and embodied practices tailored to each person’s needs.

She describes the first step as a careful match and a few focused conversations to set goals. Sessions follow a collaborative rhythm where insight and small behavior changes are both valued. Roxanne frames therapy as a shared process aimed at clearer relationships and steadier daily life.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule appointments based on the therapist’s availability. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches shape online therapy

Roxanne uses mindfulness and somatic methods to help people notice and regulate their immediate reactions. Mindfulness therapy focuses on paying steady attention to thoughts and feelings, which can reduce reactivity around jealousy or relationship conflict. Somatic therapy helps clients recognize how tension and trauma show up in the body, and offers gentle practices to ease that physical holding.

She also works with psychodynamic ideas to trace repeated patterns back to earlier relationships and attachment styles. That approach can help explain why certain triggers keep coming up and open routes to different choices in current relationships. Together these approaches let people work on both immediate coping and deeper, longer-term change in a collaborative way.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will help decide what fits best. She discusses goals and preferences in early meetings and adjusts methods as work progresses. This collaboration aims to match practical exercises with reflective work so clients feel the benefit in day-to-day life.

Session format specifics were not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, allow for shorter check-ins on a workday, or remove travel time. The focus is on making therapy workable alongside everyday responsibilities rather than promising a particular delivery method.
