More about Vladimira
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LMFT
I am a Marriage Family and Child Therapist licensed in California and Colorado with over 25 years of experience working in this field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, life challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is eclectic, warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Vladimira is a wonderful and patient therapist. She listens to everything I have to say and remembers my issues. She is also very accommodating. I highly recommend Vladimira!
Put simply, my time spent working with Vladimira was enlightening. I struggle with trust and had been sceptical about BetterHelp given the nature of my previous experience. However, Vladimira is so knowing in her craft it felt only right to see this endeavour through. I'm lucky to have met her and even more so, to have worked with her. To Vladimira, thank you.
Vladimira is so patient and understanding!
Vladka is an excellent and very experienced therapist who has a very straightforward style. I have appreciated working with her and always felt safe and in very capable hands. She has a great deal of training and can work in multiple states, I highly recommend her.
Had my hésitations about starting therapy but this is the best choice possible. Highly recommend Vladimira.
Very helpful and a good listener. Able to process what you say and offer sound interpretations based on lots of experience.
Vladimira is wonderful and has been extremely understanding with me and not only my work schedule but my many problems. I’m thankful for your service
Vladka is an empathetic, self-described "eclectic therapist" who uses a variety of therapeutic models and concepts to work with her clients. She has provided tremendous support and encouragement, and helped me navigate the most challenging family situation I've encountered in my lifetime. She's become a trusted confidant, and offered helpful advice and a caring ear. I highly recommend her - she is knowledgeable, kind, patient, and insightful.
Am so grateful for her follow through and very “present” approach. Knowing she’s there in my corner has gotten me through darker moments as well given me new perspective that I think will be helpful in future.
My therapist is extremely kind and caring and has helped me so much. She is thoughtful, very knowledgeable and I feel very comfortable talking with her. I highly recommend her to all.
She is the first therapist I trust, the way she’s helped understand my feelings and i feel a personal growth with her. I strongly recommend her as a therapist.
Felt immediately safe and heard Implementing changes already after only 2 sessions
