Sequoia San Juan, LPCC

Sequoia San Juan offers a calm, compassionate space where people can set down what they have been carrying and begin to notice relief. She creates a nonjudgmental environment and listens closely to the stories clients bring - the pain they have learned to hide and the strengths they do not always see. Working at a gentle, intentional pace, she supports exploration of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship struggles in ways that honor both the nervous system and the heart.

Her style is grounded and relational; she sits with clients rather than above them, weaving evidence-informed methods into each session as tools rather than rigid recipes. Sequoia draws from cognitive behavioral approaches, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, trauma-informed methods, and person-centered care to offer grounding, clarity, and steadying strategies when they are most needed. Over time, clients often find their voice grows stronger, patterns become clearer, and survival parts of themselves have room to soften.

Sequoia works with adults, teens, and couples, meeting each person where they are and moving at a pace that feels manageable. She is an LPCC - a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and is committed to walking alongside people as they find their way back to a fuller sense of self.

Approaches That Guide Online Care

Sequoia uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative, empathetic space where the client's perspective leads the work. This approach focuses on understanding each person's experience and supporting their own goals, which can be especially helpful for people seeking connection, clarity, or relief from relationship and identity concerns.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy - CBT - which helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often useful for anxiety, panic, and depressive patterns that interfere with daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy is woven into sessions as well, offering attention and grounding practices that support regulation and present-moment awareness when stress or trauma responses arise.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Sequoia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Sequoia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to choose a format that feels most accessible for the individual, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor interventions to each person's life.
