About Tanya
Tanya Samuelian is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, self-esteem concerns, and major life changes. Tanya also offers coaching for clients who want clearer direction around money, purpose, and self-love.
Tanya usually meets people who look fine on the outside but feel overworked or stuck inside. She talks through patterns like overthinking, perfectionism, and burnout. Sessions focus on understanding what keeps those cycles going and on practical steps to change them.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. She uses Internal Family Systems, psychodynamic ideas, and cognitive-behavioral tools to help people notice how different parts of themselves react. That work often uncovers fears, old habits, or unspoken expectations that shape current choices.
Tanya helps clients practice concrete skills in session and then bring those skills into everyday life. She focuses on clearer communication, forgiveness work, managing money-related stress, and reclaiming a sense of life purpose. The work moves at a pace the client can manage.
People usually come for help with relationships, career crossroads, or the stress of juggling many responsibilities. Tanya supports young adults, professionals, and people navigating changes tied to women's issues and self-worth. Sessions aim to leave clients steadier and with small, doable shifts toward what matters most.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Internal Family Systems is a method that helps people notice and speak to different parts of themselves. It can be useful when inner conflict, perfectionism, or self-criticism gets in the way of decisions. Psychodynamic ideas focus on patterns that repeat from past relationships and how those patterns show up now; this can help clarify why certain choices keep happening. Cognitive-behavioral tools involve practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is helpful for anxiety and stress.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Tanya treats the selection of methods as collaborative. She will discuss goals and preferences, try tools, and adjust the plan based on what helps the client make small, manageable changes.
