Looking for a Therapist?
If you are someone struggling with anxiety and feels stuck in certain areas of your life…this message is for you:
Do you ever feel like no matter how much you do, it’s still not enough? Maybe you’re exhausted from anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or trying to keep everything together for everyone else. You’re a caring, hard-working person — but inside, you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from who you truly are.
Anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem can feel like invisible weights, pulling you away from the life you want to live. Maybe you're tired of constantly overthinking, feeling "not good enough," or pretending you're okay when you're really exhausted inside. You’re not alone—and more importantly, you don’t have to face this alone.
You deserve relief. And you deserve support that actually helps you heal, not just cope.
I’m here for you.
A therapist who Helps with Anxiety and Depression
I’m Thelma Mora Zazueta, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in California, providing online therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, and self-esteem. At Amari Counseling, I help high-achieving adults, teens, and women of color break cycles of fear, burnout, and self-doubt so they can feel confident, grounded, and emotionally free.
My passion for therapy comes from witnessing the strength of my own upbringing. I was born in Mexico and raised by a hardworking mother whose resilience taught me compassion, perseverance, and the importance of emotional healing. Because of my background, I deeply understand acculturation stress, family expectations, and the cultural stigma around mental health. My clients often tell me they feel seen, supported, and understood—especially those navigating two cultures, identity challenges, or intergenerational pressure.
I specialize in evidence-based approaches including EMDR, CETA, and CBT. I’m also a Certified Hypnotherapist helping clients process trauma, reduce anxiety, and rebuild self-worth. With 9+ years of experience across community mental health and private practice, I offer a safe and non-judgmental space where you can explore your story, learn tools that work, and create meaningful change.
If you’re ready to feel calmer, stronger, and more aligned with the life you want, I’m here to help.
Counseling Education & Background
I have a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University with a specialization in family therapy. I have a Bachelor of Arts in applied psychology with an emphasis on criminal behavior from City University of Seattle.

The time it takes to see results from anxiety therapy can vary widely depending on several factors, including the type of therapy, the severity of the anxiety, the individual’s commitment to the process, and the therapist’s approach.
-
I use different types of therapeutic approaches including:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This is one of the most effective therapies for anxiety and can show noticeable results within 8-12 weeks. Some people may begin to feel better even after a few sessions, while others might need a bit more time to work through deeper issues.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy: Techniques like mindfulness can help manage anxiety, and some people experience relief after a few weeks of consistent practice.

1. Identifying Negative Thought Patterns
2. Challenging and Reframing Thoughts:
3. Mindfulness and Grounding Techniques:
