About San

San Juanita Diaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Texas. She brings 29 years of counseling experience and focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges.

Her work is straightforward and person-focused. San Juanita uses a client-centered style that prioritizes the person's own goals and strengths.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and solution-focused ideas to build realistic plans for change. San Juanita has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master of Arts in Counseling and Guidance. Her background includes work in nursing homes, outpatient clinics, vocational programs, women's shelters, and substance abuse facilities.

She also spent 15 years providing counseling for families involved with Child Protective Services. She has experience across a wide age range, having supported people from about age 5 through older adulthood. Her additional focus areas include adoption and foster care, blended family issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, communication problems, domestic violence, and grief among others.

In sessions she emphasizes building a trusting relationship first, then uses practical tools to reduce stress, manage emotions, and improve everyday family routines. Her style is warm, down-to-earth, and aimed at helping parents handle the next steps.

Approaches that fit family life and online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. The therapist follows the client's pace, helps parents name goals, and supports choices that feel realistic for family life.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts affect feelings and actions. It teaches simple skills for managing anxiety, mood, and stress that parents can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. San Juanita will help decide which methods match a person's needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. These formats allow flexible timing and let parents access support from home, which can reduce travel and missed work. Online tools also make it straightforward to review strategies, check in between meetings, and maintain steady progress toward family goals.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
