About Anne

Anne San Juan is a California-based licensed marriage and family therapist. She presents herself in a straightforward, matter-of-fact way and focuses on helping people recognize patterns that get in the way of feeling connected to themselves and others. Anne uses clear conversation to help clients understand what is happening and to consider new possibilities.

She frames sessions as a place to talk things through and to work toward practical shifts. Anne listens without judgment and helps people name patterns shaped by past and present experiences. That approach is often useful for concerns like stress, anxiety, self esteem, depression, and relationship struggles.

Anne combines client-centered work with motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques. She leans on short-term goal work alongside open listening. Clients often explore steps they can try between sessions and check what helps in everyday life.

Her background includes work in counseling and addiction-related settings. Anne brings three years of practice as an LMFT along with broader experience in community counseling roles. She works in California and conducts sessions in English.

People choose Anne when they want direct, practical conversation about worry, life changes, or struggles with mood and relationships. If you want guidance that focuses on understanding patterns and testing small changes, she may be a helpful match.

How her approaches translate to online work

Anne uses client-centered therapy to focus on the person in the room, which means the therapist pays attention to what matters most to the client and reflects it back in simple, clear language. This approach helps with issues like low self esteem, anxiety, and relationship concerns by centering personal experience and values.

She also uses motivational interviewing to support people who are unsure about change. That method involves asking open questions, listening for strengths, and helping clients weigh options so they can move toward goals they choose. Solution-focused therapy rounds out the work by identifying small steps and practical strategies to try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. Anne will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most useful based on their goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in and adjusts plans as clients try new steps and report back on what is working.

The original biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt client-centered, motivational, and solution-focused methods to the online setting to keep work practical and goal-oriented.
