Roxanne Parsa, LMFT

Roxanne Parsa is an LMFT who helps people handle relationship strain, family conflicts, trauma, parenting challenges, and coaching around life changes. She speaks English and Persian and practices in California. Her approach is conversational and direct, aimed at helping people feel understood and find clearer next steps.

Roxanne draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice repeated patterns that cause pain in relationships. She uses somatic methods to help people tune into body signals that connect to emotions. Trauma-focused tools are part of her work when past hurt keeps showing up in daily life.

Sessions start with simple goals people can notice between meetings. She helps clients name what they want to change and sets small experiments to try new behaviors. The focus is practical - learning different ways to talk, set boundaries, and manage intense feelings.

She has seven years of clinical experience working with adults, children, couples, and families in a variety of concerns such as addiction, grief, attachment issues, and parenting strains. Her background also includes professional coaching to support life purpose and career-related decisions.

Roxanne aims to create a steady, compassionate space where people can sort through complex feelings. If you are juggling caregiving stress, relationship betrayal, blended family dynamics, or questions about non-monogamy and kink, she offers clear conversation and tools to try between sessions.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Roxanne uses mindfulness and trauma-focused methods to guide online sessions. Mindfulness Therapy helps people notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment so they can respond differently to stress. Trauma-Focused Therapy focuses on reducing the hold of past hurt so daily life feels more manageable and relationships become less reactive.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxanne collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, history, and comfort level. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan as people learn what helps them most.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are offered. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time, or use shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Online work can also make it easier to involve coaching-style conversations about life purpose and practical problem solving without needing extra commuting time.
