About Tanya
Tanya Samuelian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem issues, life changes, and goals around career and money. Tanya also focuses on young adult issues and supports women navigating early adulthood pressures.
She often meets clients who look fine on the outside but feel overwhelmed inside. In sessions she helps people slow down, name what is happening, and find practical steps to reduce burnout and overthinking. Conversations focus on identifiable patterns and small changes that fit daily life.
Tanya uses a collaborative, practical style. She draws from Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic ideas, and cognitive-behavioral tools, and adapts the process to each person's pace. Sessions are structured enough to create momentum but flexible enough to follow what matters most in the moment.
Work might include mapping how thoughts and habits keep problems going, practicing specific coping skills, and exploring core beliefs about worth and purpose. She also addresses communication problems, forgiveness, money and financial stress, and questions about life purpose and self-love.
People considering therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and pick a first session time. Tanya frames therapy as collaborative problem solving aimed at clearer thinking and steadier daily routines. She offers services in English and does not take international clients.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Internal Family Systems (IFS) looks at different parts of your inner life and how they interact. In practice this helps when people are stuck in self-critical thoughts or conflicting urges, and it can make anxiety or perfectionism easier to understand. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with concrete behavioral experiments. These tools are useful for managing worry, burnout, and day-to-day stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tanya will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, pace, and what feels useful in session. That means you can expect adjustments as you learn what works and what doesn’t.
Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a tight week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time around school or work. Many people find working remotely helps them apply skills directly to their current routines, such as trying a new communication technique between meetings or practicing a calming exercise before a shift.
