About Margarita
Margarita Danielyan is an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist) practicing in California with 20 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related concerns, career difficulties, and major life changes. Sessions are offered in English, Armenian, and Russian.
Margarita keeps sessions straightforward and goal-oriented. She listens to what is most pressing and works with each person to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. She uses clear techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and related approaches to test new ways of thinking and behaving.
Clients can expect practical steps between meetings. That might include simple behavior experiments, thought records, or short mindfulness practices to try during the week. The work aims to break patterns that keep problems active and to build small, manageable changes.
Her background includes long-term clinical practice in California. Over two decades she has supported people through transitions like immigration, loss, and career shifts, and through concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, and isolation. Margarita combines elements from ACT, client-centered methods, mindfulness, and psychodynamic ideas as they fit the person’s goals.
She explains options plainly and helps people pick approaches that match their situation. To start, she asks about current struggles, what has or hasn't helped before, and what concrete changes someone would like to make.
How her approaches translate to online work
Margarita commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in practical ways online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses through small behavior experiments. It helps with anxiety, stress, and recurring worry. ACT emphasizes values and committed action, encouraging people to notice difficult thoughts while choosing actions consistent with what matters to them.The right therapeutic approach is something she figures out together with each person. She discusses goals, what has worked before, and personal preferences, and then suggests approaches to try. This is a collaborative process and can shift as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which online session formats she uses, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people try techniques consistently and apply skills in everyday situations.
