About Agnes
Agnes "Ginger" Segar is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in California. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, grief, self-esteem, and ADHD. Ginger aims to help people find clearer ways to manage day-to-day challenges and feel more capable in their lives.
She draws on 14 years of clinical experience to offer practical support for emotional ups and downs. Sessions often include straightforward tools for managing stress and anxiety, and work to improve communication and confidence.
Background and approach
Ginger pays attention to how past relationships and family history affect current choices. Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first, and then helps clients set simple, doable goals.
Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than fitting everyone into one method. Ginger uses a mix of evidence-based therapeutic techniques. That may include cognitive-behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thinking and experiential methods to increase awareness of feelings and behavior.
She helps people try practical skills between sessions so progress feels real and useful. People who reach out can expect a calm, steady presence and clear suggestions for coping. She supports parents and individuals navigating life changes, caregiving stress, obsessive worries, postpartum mood shifts, and other challenges.
Her aim is to partner with clients so they feel more resourceful and able to handle what comes next.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Agnes "Ginger" Segar uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she applies is cognitive-behavioral work, which helps people notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve daily functioning. Another approach she draws on is experiential work, which helps clients become more aware of their emotions and patterns through focused activities and reflections that translate into real-world changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with clients to test what fits best, adjusting methods based on a person’s goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions can include skill-building, emotional processing, or both, depending on what the client finds most useful.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support shorter check-ins or more frequent touchpoints. These options allow therapy to fit into busy schedules and different daily routines.
