About Sequoia San Juan

Sequoia San Juan is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) who creates a gentle, steady space where people can set down the burdens they have carried alone. She cultivates a warm, compassionate presence and listens closely to each person’s story - paying attention to the pain they have learned to hide and the strengths they may not yet see. Sequoia approaches therapy as a collaborative process, moving slowly and intentionally to honor both the nervous system and the heart when addressing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles.

She integrates cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and person-centered methods as flexible tools rather than rigid protocols, weaving them into moments where grounding, clarity, or a steadier sense of self are needed. Over time she supports clients in making sense of recurring patterns, strengthening their voice, and allowing survival parts of themselves to soften. Sequoia works with adults, teens, and couples, meeting each person exactly as they are and offering a compassionate companion on the path to connection, relief, and direction. Her practice centers on presence, practical skills, and helping people find a place to land as they move toward their goals.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Sequoia draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy as core ways of working, and she adapts these approaches for online formats to meet people where they are. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a warm, nonjudgmental relationship in which the person’s own goals and insights lead the work - it helps with emotional processing, relational concerns, and finding direction. CBT offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and patterns that affect daily functioning. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness, supporting clients managing stress, trauma responses, or persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sequoia collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and tools so the work feels manageable and effective. Licensed professionals tailor interventions collaboratively, honoring individual rhythms.

Online therapy - via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - offers flexibility and accessibility, making it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access care from different locations. These formats allow therapists to combine relational connection with practical skills and in-the-moment support, helping clients make steady progress even when in-person visits are not possible.
