About Me
I’m Tanya Samuelian, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Los Angeles, California. My work is rooted in the belief that modern life can feel overwhelming—balancing careers, relationships, and expectations often leaves us feeling anxious, burnt out, or disconnected. Therapy is a space where we can slow down, gain clarity, and begin creating more intentional ways of living.
My Experience & Education
I received my Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from California Lutheran University. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting young adults, professionals, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, trauma, and relationship challenges. I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals who appear “together” on the outside but often feel stretched thin, stuck in cycles of overthinking, or unsure of how to truly rest.
My Approach
My style is collaborative, warm, and grounded. I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodynamic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches, while always tailoring the process to your pace and needs. Sessions are structured but never rigid—together, we’ll look at patterns, explore the deeper “why” behind them, and develop tools you can actually use in your daily life.
How I Can Help
Whether you’re navigating the stress of a demanding career, struggling in your relationships, or feeling weighed down by anxiety, my role is to help you untangle the noise and reconnect with yourself. Therapy isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you better understand your inner world, make sense of your experiences, and build new ways of relating to yourself and others. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling more grounded, less alone, and with a renewed sense of possibility for your life.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
