Sequoia San Juan

Sequoia San Juan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with seven years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family matters, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes including questions about life purpose.

Sequoia listens to the stories people bring and works at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are conversational and practical. She uses clear tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness alongside person-centered listening to help people name patterns and try different ways of responding.

Her approach includes narrative work to make sense of difficult experiences and motivational interviewing to clarify goals and next steps. These methods are used to address panic and social anxiety symptoms, post-traumatic stress, and problems with isolation or communication. Sequoia helps people practice small experiments between sessions to test what changes feel useful in daily life.

She draws on psychodynamic ideas to notice recurring relationship patterns and to bring attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. Mindfulness practices are offered as simple exercises to reduce overwhelm and increase moment-to-moment focus. Cognitive strategies support managing anxious thoughts and unhelpful behaviors.

Sequoia works with adults and uses a calm, steady style to help people sort through competing feelings and decide what matters next. Her combination of listening, practical skills, and reflective work aims to help people find more manageable ways forward when life feels stuck.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Sequoia often uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy when working with people. Client-centered therapy focuses on careful listening and making space for the person's perspective, which helps when sorting through strong emotions or relationship questions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, panic, and depression.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape what is practiced in sessions and what is tried between meetings.

The original biography did not list specific remote session formats. Confirm current session options before booking so you know how sessions are conducted. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals, including LPCCs, commonly adapt exercises and homework to an online rhythm so the work connects to everyday life.
