About Anne
Anne San Juan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years listed experience in private practice settings. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression, anger, addiction concerns, parenting stress, grief, and other life changes.

She takes a straightforward, matter-of-fact approach in sessions. She aims to help people recognize their patterns and increase self-understanding. Conversations in therapy focus on practical ways to change unhelpful habits and improve connection with others.
Anne frames therapy as a collaborative conversation. She uses client-centered methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. She also draws on motivational interviewing to support change and solution-focused strategies to identify small, achievable steps forward.
Her background includes work with a wide range of concerns such as mood disorders, addiction, family-of-origin issues, communication problems, and multicultural matters. The practice emphasizes clear feedback, direct discussion of behavior, and planning around goals like managing anger, improving sleep, or addressing substance use.
People often come for short-term focused work or longer support around complex issues like co-morbidity, caregiving stress, or life purpose questions. To begin, prospective clients use the site's matching flow to describe their needs and schedule a first session.
How Anne uses client-centered and goal-focused work online
Client-Centered Therapy means the therapist listens closely and reflects back what matters to the client. This approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what they truly want to change, which is useful for relationship problems, self-esteem, and anger.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people move from mixed feelings to clearer intention. It focuses on small steps and strengthening a person’s own reasons for change, which suits addiction concerns, lifestyle shifts, and stages of readiness.
Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, short-term steps that lead to visible progress. It helps set achievable goals and track what works, often used for stress, sleep problems, or improving communication.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to identify which approaches fit their goals and preferences. That decision is revisited as needs change, so the plan can shift toward more skills practice or toward practical problem solving.
