About Somaya
LMFT Somaya Kalla is a licensed marriage and family therapist in California with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and Arabic. Somaya works with adults to address emotional pain and practical problems that interfere with day-to-day life.
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and keeps sessions direct and practical. Conversations typically identify current patterns, clarify what feels most urgent, and try small, doable changes between meetings. Somaya pays attention to how past family relationships affect present behavior and feelings. She also helps people notice and manage strong emotions such as anger, shame, or overwhelming sadness.
In sessions she will often focus on communication skills and attachment patterns when relationships are part of the concern. For people dealing with major life shifts she helps map priorities and coping strategies. When trauma or abuse is present the work moves at a pace the client can manage, with attention to stability and safety in day-to-day functioning.
Her approach is collaborative: clients set goals and Somaya offers tools to reach them. She frames progress in concrete terms like better sleep, fewer angry outbursts, or clearer conversations with others. The subscription-based fee varies by location and can be canceled at any time.

How Somaya uses evidence-based approaches in online sessions
Somaya uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day problems and skills people can use right away. One common thread is working on emotion regulation strategies to help reduce overwhelming feelings and improve daily functioning. This can be useful for anxiety, mood issues, and intense reactions tied to past events.Another emphasis is on the patterns that shape relationships. Work here looks at attachment and communication habits, with practical exercises to change how people ask for needs or respond to conflict. These techniques help when relationship strain or repeated arguments are part of the problem.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means reviewing what feels most urgent, trying an approach for a few sessions, and adjusting as needed.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Generally, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into work and family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a brief update is needed. Ask about the available session formats when you sign up so scheduling matches your day-to-day life.
