About Anne

Anne San Juan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of experience in private practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, and codependency concerns. Sessions are conversational and straightforward, aimed at helping people notice patterns that get in the way of feeling more like themselves.

She describes therapy as a place to talk through how past and current events affect connection to self and others. Conversations focus on practical understanding rather than jargon. She keeps language simple and direct so people can use what they learn outside the session.

Anne uses client-centered methods to listen and follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused work to identify small steps forward. These approaches are used to help with decisions, coping skills, and relationship problems.

Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, parenting stress, and substance use. She notes experience with multicultural issues and life transitions, including career and midlife questions. The focus is on clear, practical conversation about choices and behavior.

Sessions are offered in English and take place from her California practice. People who want to begin are invited to follow the site's steps to match and schedule a first appointment.

How sessions work

How Anne uses practical approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. The therapist reflects concerns and priorities so clients can better understand their own thoughts and feelings and decide what matters for change.

Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to talk about change. It helps people weigh options, build motivation, and take concrete steps when they feel stuck, useful for substance use, ambivalence about relationships, or lifestyle shifts.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, realistic steps that lead to quick improvements. The emphasis is on what already works and expanding those skills for daily life.

Anne treats the choice of approach as part of the work together. She will help clients decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and adjust as progress and needs evolve. This is a cooperative process rather than a fixed plan.

Session options should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. Talk with the therapist when you match to understand the available session formats and how they could fit into your routine.
