Margarita Danielyan, LMFT

Margarita Danielyan is a licensed LMFT with two decades of clinical experience practicing in California. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, she brings 20 years of focused work helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, career challenges, and major life transitions. Her practice emphasizes practical coping strategies alongside deeper emotional work to support meaningful change.

She creates a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed openly, and collaborates with clients to identify goals and paths forward. Margarita draws on a range of therapeutic methods to tailor care to each person’s needs, and she communicates in English, Armenian, and Russian to serve a diverse client base. Taking the first step toward greater well-being can require courage, and she offers steady professional support throughout that process.

Margarita’s approach is attentive and client-focused, aiming to help individuals build resilience, improve relationships, and find clearer direction in their personal and professional lives. She works with adults facing issues such as abandonment, attachment and communication problems, body image and self-esteem concerns, isolation and life purpose questions, among other areas of focus.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Margarita Danielyan commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build flexible responses to difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and related concerns.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy principles, offering empathic listening and collaborative goal-setting so clients feel heard and respected. Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together - Margarita will help identify which methods fit best based on each person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Margarita is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and daily life, and allow licensed professionals to deliver consistent therapeutic support across a range of presenting concerns.
