About Roxanne
Roxanne Parsa is a California LMFT with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns as well as trauma and parenting challenges, and works with adults who are navigating these areas. She speaks English and Persian and brings experience in coaching alongside traditional therapy work.
Roxanne helps people unpack difficult relationship patterns like infidelity, jealousy, codependency, and problems that stem from family of origin. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, addiction and relapse concerns, and the stress that comes with caregiving or blended family dynamics. Her background includes work around attachment issues and non-monogamous relationship styles, including polyamory and BDSM or kink contexts.
Her approach combines mindfulness practices, psychodynamic thinking, and somatic methods to address both thoughts and bodily reactions. She also integrates trauma-focused work when past events continue to affect day-to-day life. Sessions often include talking through patterns, noticing bodily responses, and practicing present-moment skills to manage intense feelings.
Roxanne’s experience includes coaching for career and life purpose questions as well as clinical care for anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. She frames therapy as a collaborative process where practical skills and clearer understanding of patterns are both part of the work. She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Her practice operates in California and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted, so prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.
How Roxanne’s approaches translate to online work
Roxanne uses mindfulness therapy to help people notice thoughts and sensations in the present moment and develop simple practices for stress and anxiety. Mindfulness can be useful for relationship tension, panic symptoms, and day-to-day reactivity.She also draws on somatic therapy, which pays attention to bodily responses. That approach helps when emotions feel stuck in the body or when trauma shows up as physical tension. It includes grounding exercises and noticing breath and posture.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. Roxanne will work with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and comfort level. She frames this as a collaborative effort where practical skills and insight are balanced together.

They also let people practice skills they learn in therapy in their normal routines, which can help transfer what is discussed into daily life.
