About Roxanne
Roxanne Parsa is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California. She helps people facing relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma and abuse, and challenges around life purpose. Roxanne draws on her seven years of clinical experience to guide practical change and clearer communication.
In sessions she uses a mix of body-focused and insight-oriented work. Somatic therapy brings attention to sensations and bodily responses that link to upsetting memories or patterns.
Background and approach
Mindfulness practices help people notice thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed. Psychodynamic ideas are used to trace patterns back to earlier relationships so those patterns can shift. Her approach balances feeling and thinking.
Sessions might include grounding exercises, focused attention on physical reactions, and conversational exploration of family history and relationship roles. The aim is to help people feel steadier, make different choices, and reconnect with their values. Roxanne also supports people exploring non-traditional relationship styles, including polyamory and kink-related topics, and helps clients manage jealousy, infidelity, and blended family tensions.
She brings attention to caregiving stress, addiction concerns, and codependency without assuming quick fixes. Services are offered in English and Persian. Roxanne holds California license number CA LMFT 141112.
She combines practical coaching skills with therapy to help people move toward clearer goals and healthier relationship patterns.
How somatic and mindful methods work online
Somatic Therapy focuses on body sensations and how the body holds stress. In online sessions this can mean guided attention to breathing, posture, and physical signals to help people notice reactions tied to trauma or relationship triggers. Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to observe thoughts and feelings without immediately reacting, which can reduce rumination and help people respond more calmly in relationships.Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Together they will try techniques and adjust the mix of body-focused work, mindfulness, and psychodynamic conversation so it fits each person’s needs.
Online formats offer flexibility for people with busy schedules or caregiving responsibilities. Video calls allow visual connection and guided exercises, phone sessions work when video isn’t possible, and live chat or text-based messaging can support shorter check-ins or between-session coaching. These options make it easier to maintain continuity while exploring somatic and mindfulness practices.
