About Roxanne

Roxanne Parsa is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on relationship and family concerns. She helps parents and partners handle parenting stress, blended family dynamics, infidelity, and other common relationship problems. Roxanne also works with people facing trauma, abuse, addiction concerns, and issues around attachment and communication.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens for patterns that keep families stuck and then helps people try small, concrete changes.

Background and approach

Roxanne blends talk work with body-oriented methods when trauma or strong emotions are present. She uses mindfulness practices to help people calm their reactions during hard conversations. Roxanne holds a California LMFT, which stands for licensed marriage and family therapist.

She has seven years of clinical experience working with adults, couples, children, and families. Her background includes coaching skills that some clients use alongside therapy to clarify life purpose and goals. Her practice addresses a wide range of family and relationship topics, including caregiver stress, codependency, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship questions, and multicultural concerns.

She also supports people dealing with substance use relapse and the fallout from family-of-origin problems. Roxanne offers services in English and Persian. Sessions are available through several online formats, and she works with clients located in California.

Many parents find her calm, practical approach helpful when juggling busy family life.

Therapeutic approaches for families and relationships online

Mindfulness Therapy helps people slow down and notice their thoughts and bodily reactions. It can reduce reactivity during heated family conversations and support calmer parenting moments. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships influence current patterns. It can help identify repeated behaviors that cause conflict in partnerships and family life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Roxanne will collaborate with each client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She may combine mindfulness, psychodynamic ideas, or somatic techniques depending on what helps a family or individual make progress.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy families. Video calls let partners and children join from different locations. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to follow up between meetings and to access care when schedules are tight. These options are designed to make regular sessions more practical for parents and caregivers.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Exploring how earlier relationships and patterns still shape the present, often over a longer stretch of time. It relies on conversation and reflection rather than exercises.

Somatic Therapy

Works with what the body is doing - tension, breath, restlessness - as much as with what you say about it. Guided attention to physical sensation can be done from your own space.
