About Anne

Anne San Juan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who takes a direct and practical approach. She speaks plainly and without judgment. Her style is matter-of-fact and focused on helping people notice the patterns that shape daily life.

She frames therapy as a conversation. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and improve connections with others. Anne helps people sort through stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, sleep difficulties, addiction, grief, and changes that come with transitions.

Her background includes three years practicing as an LMFT in a clinical role in California. Anne draws on approaches that center the client, build motivation for change, and target concrete solutions. She uses those methods to address issues such as self-esteem, parenting strain, communication problems, and mood disorders.

In sessions she works collaboratively and plainly. Expect a focus on what is happening now, practical steps you can try between visits, and regular check-ins on progress. The intent is to make therapy feel useful and connected to everyday life.

Anne is comfortable talking about intimacy, codependency, multicultural concerns, and caregiver stress. She also supports people facing addiction, bipolar mood challenges, eating and sleeping concerns, and questions about life purpose. To start, she asks a few basic questions to match needs and priorities before planning next steps.

How Anne’s approaches fit into online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and meeting people where they are; it helps when someone needs acceptance, reflection, and time to understand their own goals. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational way to help people find their reasons to change and to build small steps toward those goals. Solution-Focused Therapy zeroes in on practical, achievable changes and on what can be done now to feel better.

Choosing an approach is a team effort. The therapist and client will talk about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Anne will help try methods and adjust them as needed so the work matches the person’s life and aims.

Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit visits into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when needed. It can also support steady work on sleep, stress, motivation, and relationship patterns without requiring major changes to daily routines.
