Sequoia San Juan , LPCC

Sequoia San Juan offers a calm, supportive space where people can set down the burdens they have carried for too long. She approaches therapy with warmth and grounded presence, sitting alongside clients as they tell their stories and uncover the strengths that have helped them survive. Sequoia moves at a pace that honors both the nervous system and the heart, allowing exploration of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship struggles in ways that feel manageable and compassionate.

Her work blends practical tools and relational care. She integrates cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and person-centered methods as flexible supports rather than strict protocols, using each approach when it best fits a client’s needs. Over time clients often find clearer patterns in their lives, a stronger sense of voice, and more room to let guarded parts of themselves soften.

Sequoia works with adults, teens, and couples, meeting each person where they are and attending to communication, connection, and meaningful change. She holds an LPCC, which stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, a clinical credential that authorizes her to provide psychotherapy in California.

Therapeutic approaches suited for online care

Sequoia uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experience guides the work. This approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and collaboration, and it helps people who are seeking acceptance, clearer self-understanding, and stronger emotional connection.

She also draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and experimenting with new behaviors. CBT is practical and goal-oriented, often helping with anxiety, depression, panic symptoms, and everyday coping strategies.

Mindfulness-based practices are woven into sessions to help with grounding, reducing reactivity, and increasing present-moment awareness. These techniques can be useful for stress regulation, trauma recovery, and managing overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Sequoia works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, preferences, and pace, adjusting strategies as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Sequoia is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists without needing to travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care from wherever they are.
