About Anne
Anne San Juan is a California-based Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). She takes a direct, matter-of-fact approach and aims to help people understand their patterns and how those patterns affect daily life. Anne focuses on clear conversation rather than clinical jargon.
She welcomes questions and practical problem-solving in sessions. Anne treats a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, addictions, and parenting challenges. She also helps with relationship issues, communication problems, grief, trauma and abuse, eating and sleeping issues, and career or life-purpose questions.
Background and approach
Her work includes support for LGBT concerns and multicultural issues. Her clinical style is straightforward and nonjudgmental. Sessions focus on understanding what’s happening now, noticing unhelpful patterns, and identifying small steps clients can try between meetings.
She uses client-centered techniques along with motivational interviewing and solution-focused ideas to set practical goals. Anne holds a Master of Science in Counseling from California State University Fullerton and is licensed in California as an LMFT. She has three years of experience in the context described for this listing and also has broader background working in counseling and addiction settings.
People who prefer clear feedback and practical strategies tend to fit well with her style. She offers various online session formats to make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule. To start, a short matching questionnaire is used to connect clients and schedule sessions.

Approaches for online parenting and life concerns
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and supports them in finding their own solutions for parenting, relationships, and self-esteem challenges.Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore readiness for change. It’s useful when someone feels stuck with habits like substance use or wants help making shifts in behavior or routine.
Solution-Focused Therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and quick goal-setting. This approach is helpful for parents and busy adults who want concrete strategies they can try between sessions.
Anne sees finding the right approach as a joint effort. She will work with clients to pick or blend methods that match their goals, needs, and personal style. That collaboration is part of early sessions and ongoing adjustment as goals change.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or messaging can be a quick check-in, and text sessions can fit into a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule therapy around family and work commitments and to continue care when travel or time constraints arise.
