About Anne
Anne San Juan is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings a direct, no-nonsense approach to counseling. She speaks plainly and helps people identify repeating patterns that get in the way of daily life. Her style is warm but straightforward, aimed at helping clients reconnect with themselves and others.
She believes therapy is a conversation where people can test out new ideas. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer self-understanding rather than jargon.
Background and approach
Anne frames challenges as things that can be worked on together so clients can try different ways of coping and relating. Anne has practiced as a therapist in California and lists experience across many concerns, including anxiety, depression, bipolar mood issues, addiction, grief, relationship strain, parenting stress, and ADHD.
Her background includes work with individuals, couples, families, and groups across a broad age range, and she has spent years in addiction-related settings. Her clinical approach centers on Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. In practice this means she listens carefully, helps people find their own motivation for change, and focuses on small, concrete steps that move them forward.
Clients can expect straightforward feedback, clear goals, and practical strategies for daily life. Anne aims to help people notice what works, try new behaviors, and adjust plans when needed.
How these approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening without judgment and helping people find their own answers; it is useful for improving self-understanding and rebuilding connection. Motivational Interviewing helps people notice their own reasons for change and build motivation one small step at a time, which can help with addiction, behavior change, or stuck routines. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on identifying concrete goals and small, practical actions that lead to quick progress rather than long analysis.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. They will check in about what is helping and adjust the plan if something does not fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief support, step-by-step coaching, or when someone prefers writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to try different formats as needs change.
