About Lina

Lina Vielma is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles. She aims to make therapy a calm place where clients can be heard and start to feel more in control. Lina brings 20 years of experience to each session and works in English from California.

Her style is warm and intentional. Sessions tend to move at a pace the client can handle while also gently challenging patterns that keep problems stuck.

Background and approach

She listens for how past hurts affect current behavior and looks for small, practical steps clients can use between meetings. Lina blends several approaches to match what a person needs. She uses client-centered listening to create safety, cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and habits, and EMDR to address traumatic memories when appropriate.

Mindfulness and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are offered to manage intense emotions. Over two decades she has supported people dealing with grief, addiction, parenting strain, anger, sleep or eating issues, career transitions, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also addresses concerns like abandonment, body image, codependency, and communication problems.

Sessions may include talking, practicing emotion regulation skills, and setting small behavioral experiments. Lina helps people identify clear goals and works with them step by step to reach those goals. She encourages realistic progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support

How Lina’s Approaches Work Online

Online sessions draw on a few core methods to help clients make steady progress. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and build more supported ways of relating. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and routines. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process upsetting memories by revisiting them with structured procedures that can reduce their emotional charge.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Lina will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that match those needs. Treatment plans are adjusted as progress unfolds so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and other obligations.
