Anne San Juan , LMFT

Anne San Juan is a straightforward, matter-of-fact therapist who creates a nonjudgmental setting for exploring personal patterns and relationships. She aims to help people increase self-understanding and notice how past and present experiences shape their connections to themselves and others. Anne explains issues clearly and focuses on practical steps clients can take as they consider new possibilities.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) Anne is trained to work with individuals, couples, and families on a range of concerns. Her practice addresses stress and anxiety, relationship and family problems, self-esteem and identity issues, depression, mood disorders, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy concerns, parenting and family of origin issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, and related challenges. She also works with multicultural concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and life transitions.

Anne provides care in English and practices in California. She brings a collaborative, client-focused approach that draws on client-centered, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused methods to support people in setting goals and building skills. Anne is not currently accepting clients.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care

Anne uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person's perspectives and values, offering a supportive space where clients guide the pace and focus of work and explore what matters most in their lives. Motivational interviewing is used to help clients clarify their own reasons for change and build internal motivation, which can be especially useful for concerns like addiction, lifestyle shifts, or ambivalence about relationships. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes practical, goal-oriented conversations that identify strengths and small, actionable steps toward desired changes, helping clients make measurable progress on specific issues.

Determining the best approach is a collaborative process. Anne works with clients to identify their needs, goals, and preferences and tailors interventions accordingly, adjusting methods as work evolves and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it easier for clients to attend regularly, continue work through life transitions, and combine different communication styles as needed to support progress with licensed professionals and therapists.
