About Sanaz

Sanaz Motamedi is a licensed California therapist with 20 years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, trauma, and depression. As an LMFT - a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - she brings a systems-oriented perspective that considers how relationships, roles, and life circumstances affect emotional well-being. She works with concerns such as self-esteem, motivation, communication problems, guilt and shame, loneliness, and struggles with life purpose and self-love.

Sanaz approaches each person with sensitivity, respect, and compassion, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to match individual needs and goals. Her practice emphasizes practical, evidence-based techniques designed to reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and improve connection with others. She recognizes the courage it takes to begin therapy and affirms clients for taking that first step. Throughout the therapeutic process she partners with clients to create clear, achievable steps toward greater confidence, healthier relationships, and improved emotional balance.

Evidence-based techniques for online care

Sanaz uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the issues people bring, such as anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, and trauma. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and building practical coping skills to reduce stress and manage anxious or low mood. Another approach emphasizes trauma-informed strategies that support processing difficult experiences and reducing their ongoing impact on daily life. A third focus is relationship-centered work that helps improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and repair connection with partners or family members.



Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. Sanaz works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts her approach over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging - which makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when life is unpredictable. These options allow clients to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations while working toward clearer thinking, better coping, and stronger relationships.
