Tanya Samuelian , LMFT

Tanya Samuelian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also offers coaching around communication problems, money issues, and finding life purpose, with attention to women's issues and young adult concerns.

Tanya keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She works in a warm, collaborative way and helps clients name the thoughts and behaviors that get in the way. Conversations move from understanding what’s happening to trying small changes that can feel manageable in daily life.

With nine years of clinical experience, Tanya has supported professionals, young adults, and people juggling career and relationships. She often meets clients who look fine on the outside but are worn down by overthinking, burnout, or perfectionism. Her practice aims to help people reconnect with parts of themselves they have neglected.

Sessions use a blend of approaches that look at patterns, internal parts, and thinking styles. Tanya adapts the pace and tools to each person’s needs so work feels doable. She balances structure with flexibility to help clients make steady progress.

Tanya wants therapy to be a place for slowing down and finding clarity. She helps people build habits and tools they can use after a session ends. The goal is to leave feeling steadier, less alone, and more connected to what matters.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based techniques in Tanya's work include approaches that focus on internal parts and practical thought-change tools. One approach examines internal parts or subpersonalities to understand competing feelings and needs, helping people untangle inner conflict and reduce self-criticism. Another approach uses cognitive-style techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with simple experiments or homework, which can lower anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Tanya will discuss options and tailor methods to each person's goals, pace, and preferences. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical benefits. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation for deeper connection. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text let people check in between sessions and fit therapy into busy days. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work and family commitments.
