Sequoia San Juan is an LPCC who helps people handling stress, anxiety, low self esteem, and relationship or intimacy struggles. She offers a calm, steady presence for those facing grief, depression, trauma, or big life changes. Her work aims to give people a place to pause, breathe, and stop carrying everything alone.
Sequoia listens closely to each person’s story and meets them without judgment. Sessions move at a pace that respects how the body and feelings respond. She focuses on building clarity and small, usable steps that make daily life feel more manageable.
Her work draws from client-centered practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and narrative ideas. These approaches are used flexibly as tools to help with grounding, shifting unhelpful patterns, and naming difficult experiences. Sequoia avoids rigid techniques and instead adjusts methods to what feels helpful moment to moment.
People often come for help with panic attacks, social anxiety, isolation, or trouble communicating in important relationships. She also supports those exploring life purpose, self-love, and recovering from post-traumatic stress. Over time the aim is for clients to notice clearer thinking, steadier reactions, and a stronger sense of voice.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. It helps people feel heard and understood, and it’s useful when someone needs a steady space to make sense of painful experiences.
Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect. It provides concrete skills for coping with anxiety, panic, or low self esteem by practicing small changes and testing new ways of responding.
Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment attention and simple grounding skills. These practices can reduce reactivity, help with panic or social anxiety, and create room for clearer decision making.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting tools as needed over time.

Licensed professionals can adapt CBT exercises, mindfulness practices, and client-centered conversations to an online setting in ways that aim to be practical and usable in everyday life.
