About Sequoia
Sequoia San Juan is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in California with seven years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, family concerns, intimacy issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sequoia also focuses on communication problems, loneliness, life purpose, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and social anxiety.
Sequoia aims for straightforward, person-focused sessions. She listens to the story someone brings and helps them notice patterns that keep causing pain. Sessions often involve talking through recent events, identifying habits that keep problems active, and practicing small experiments to test new approaches.
Her work draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with mindfulness and Motivational Interviewing mixed in when useful. That means conversations that follow what matters to the client, plus practical ways to change thoughts and behaviors that make life harder. Mindfulness exercises are used to help people feel steadier in the moment.
Clients can expect a pace that pays attention to how overwhelming feelings are. Sequoia prefers gradual steps rather than pushing for fast change. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic, post-traumatic stress, and relationship or intimacy questions.
She practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.
How client-centered and cognitive approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and following what matters to the client. The therapist reflects what the person says, helps clarify feelings, and supports decisions the client makes about their life. This approach helps when someone needs space to sort through confusion about relationships or values.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It offers step-by-step skills for anxiety, panic attacks, social fears, and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy adds short practices that help someone notice their experience without getting pulled into it.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, preferences, and how intense symptoms feel. That collaborative decision making helps shape a plan that fits the person's pace and needs.
