About Anne
Anne San Juan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with three years of experience listed for this profile. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, and a broad range of related issues including addictions and family of origin issues. Sessions are presented in a straightforward, matter-of-fact style that aims to clarify patterns and increase self-understanding.
She describes therapy as a conversation. She uses direct language and avoids judgment while helping clients notice how past family roles and expectations still affect daily life. The work often looks at relationship patterns, communication problems, and how family background shapes beliefs about intimacy and commitment.
Her approach draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That means sessions emphasize listening to the client's perspective, exploring motivation for change, and identifying practical steps that move things forward. Conversations tend to be focused and action-oriented rather than purely reflective.
Anne has experience across many common life stresses including grief, parenting challenges, career shifts, and substance use concerns. She also lists work with multicultural concerns and issues that overlap, such as co-morbidity and codependency. The profile notes familiarity with a broad set of mood and behavioral concerns without promising specific outcomes.
People who prefer clear feedback and concrete strategies may find this style helpful. The therapist works in English and practices in California. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps people feel understood and puts their perspective at the center of the work, useful for relationship and self-esteem concerns.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people clarify their reasons for change. It is practical for issues like addiction, lifestyle shifts, or coping with life changes because it explores motivation and next steps.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, concrete steps and measurable goals. It is often used when clients want short-term, action-oriented work for problems such as communication issues or day-to-day coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration includes discussing preferences, what has or has not helped before, and how fast someone wants to move.
Session formats are not listed in the profile, so confirm current options before booking.

These practical benefits can help maintain consistency while working on family patterns, communication, and coping skills.
