Lina Vielma, LMFT

Lina Vielma is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 20 years of experience. She offers a warm, steady presence for people dealing with anxiety, stress, trauma, and relationship concerns. Lina aims to create a calm space where people feel heard and safe to talk about hard things.

Her approach is straightforward and compassionate. She listens first, then helps people make small, practical changes that ease daily life. Sessions often involve talking through feelings, learning skills to manage intense moments, and trying new ways to handle relationships and parenting challenges.

Lina brings sensitivity to cultural background and identity into her work, informed by her own Navajo and Filipino roots. That perspective shapes how she talks about grief, abandonment, and family dynamics without assuming one single path forward.

She blends several methods to match the person in front of her, including attachment-focused work, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills for emotion regulation, and EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate. Lina explains each option and invites people to choose what fits best for their situation.

People often come to her for help with sleep and eating issues, addictions, parenting strain, career transitions, or coping with long-term stress. Lina encourages steady progress and practical coping tools so people can get back to daily life with more balance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in close relationships and learn new ways to connect and feel safer with others. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to shift unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, sleep, eating, and mood. EMDR is a process some therapists use to help reduce distress linked to traumatic memories, often by guiding the person through structured processing steps tailored to their pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Lina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. She blends methods and collaborates to choose strategies that fit the person rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Many people find online therapy helpful because it can fit around work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and make follow-up or brief check-ins easier.
