About Viridiana
Viridiana Castro is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings seven years of clinical experience to her work. She focuses on practical, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship struggles. She also helps with addiction concerns, parenting strain, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Her approach centers on respectful, sensitive listening and simple tools that can be used between sessions. Conversations are shaped around each person's needs so the plan feels relevant and doable.
Background and approach
She aims to help people build confidence, regain motivation, and manage day-to-day challenges more effectively. Viridiana has worked with people whose lives have been affected by trauma and abuse and those coping with family-of-origin problems, blended family dynamics, and separation. She also supports people dealing with career stress, compassion fatigue, and the emotional fallout of natural or human-caused disasters.
Practical coping skills and clear next steps are common parts of her work. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and adapted to fit different communication styles. She explains ideas in plain language and avoids clinical jargon.
The goal is steady progress over time, not quick fixes. People who start therapy with Viridiana can expect a collaborative tone. She will listen first, then work together to shape goals and choose techniques that match each person’s life and priorities.
Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life
Viridiana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common method she uses teaches skills for managing stress and anxiety through short exercises and behavior changes that can reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing trauma and its effects in manageable steps so people can gain relief from difficult memories and feel safer in their bodies and relationships.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests methods to try and adjusts them as needed. Together you decide what feels most helpful and realistic for your life and schedule.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a fuller conversation and read nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in fits your day. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short updates, coping prompts, or when you prefer written exchanges. These options make it simpler to maintain regular contact and practice skills between sessions.
