Sequoia San Juan, LPCC - Therapist in California

About Sequoia

Sequoia San Juan helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, depression, and questions about intimacy and self-worth. She offers a calm space where clients can set down what feels heavy and begin to breathe. Her tone is steady and unhurried, aimed at easing panic, managing life changes, and working through trauma or abuse when it feels safe to do so.

Her style is warm and grounded. Sequoia listens closely to the story each person brings.

Background and approach

She uses practical tools rather than labels, and moves at a pace that respects the client’s nervous system and readiness to change. Sequoia blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy, along with Motivational Interviewing and Narrative Therapy. These methods are offered as flexible tools - for grounding in the moment, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and making sense of difficult experiences.

She is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - LPCC - practicing in California with seven years of experience. Sessions are held online using video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so people can fit therapy into busy days or when in-person visits aren’t practical. Sequoia aims to help clients strengthen communication, reduce isolation, and build a clearer sense of life purpose.

The work often focuses on small, steady steps that create real change over time.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows your lead, reflecting what matters to you and creating a nonjudgmental space to talk about stress, relationships, and self worth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic, and shift patterns that keep people stuck.

Finding the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to try approaches that match their goals and comfort level. Choices are revisited over time so the plan evolves with progress and changing needs.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls provide face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging offer alternatives for people who prefer less direct contact or need quick check-ins. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while balancing school, work, or caregiving responsibilities.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
