About Roxanne
Roxanne Parsa is a licensed marriage and family therapist who helps people facing relationship and family strains. She focuses on parenting concerns, trauma and abuse, and general relationship challenges in everyday life. Roxanne works in both English and Persian and brings seven years of clinical experience to her sessions.
Roxanne aims to make therapy straightforward and practical. She uses conversation, mindful awareness, and attention to bodily experience to help people notice patterns and try new ways of relating.
Background and approach
Sessions often include talking through difficult moments, reflecting on past patterns, and practicing small changes that fit daily life. Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how earlier relationships shape current patterns. She also uses somatic techniques to help people track physical reactions linked to emotions.
Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is central to present problems. Roxanne helps with a wide range of concerns related to families and relationships. These include attachment issues, blended family transitions, caregiver stress, infidelity, codependency, and navigating non-monogamous arrangements.
She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, and questions of life purpose. Therapy can include coaching elements when clients want concrete skills for communication and boundaries. Roxanne encourages gradual change and works collaboratively to set goals that feel manageable.
She invites parents and partners to explore what they want for their relationships and family life.

Approaches for online relationship and trauma work
Roxanne commonly blends psychodynamic ideas with somatic and trauma-focused methods to address relationship and parenting concerns. Psychodynamic therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people notice recurring reactions and stories that influence behavior. Somatic therapy pays attention to bodily sensations and movement, helping people recognize and regulate physical responses linked to emotions. Trauma-focused therapy concentrates on the effects of past harm and uses focused techniques to reduce the hold of traumatic memories.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Roxanne will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest a combination of methods that fit your needs. She works with clients to try different techniques and adjust the plan as progress and comfort evolve.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for busy family schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, and daily life while keeping therapeutic continuity.
