About Anne
Anne San Juan is a California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who approaches therapy in a direct, down-to-earth way. She keeps conversations practical and nonjudgmental to help people notice their patterns and make clear choices. Her style is straightforward and focused on helping people understand themselves and their relationships better.
She frames therapy as a conversation where clients can talk through what’s blocking connection to themselves or others. Sessions aim to increase insight into past and present issues while exploring possibilities for change. She encourages realistic steps toward clearer communication and healthier habits.
Anne uses client-centered methods to listen closely and meet each person where they are. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and on Solution-Focused Therapy to build practical next steps. These approaches are used together to tailor sessions to individual goals.
Her background includes work across counseling and addiction settings, and she brings three years of clinical experience in the roles described in this profile. She works with a range of common concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and life transitions, and can support people facing co-occurring issues.
People who prefer clear, conversational therapy tend to fit well with her approach. She encourages clients to name goals, try small experiments between sessions, and adjust the plan as needed. Prospective clients are invited to start with a short matching process to set up an initial session.

How these approaches shape online therapy
Anne combines Motivational Interviewing, Client-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy to guide online work. Motivational Interviewing helps people clarify their own reasons for change and build motivation one step at a time. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and understanding so clients feel heard and can explore thoughts without judgment. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what works now to move toward a preferred future.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then try methods that fit your needs. Sessions are adjusted over time based on what helps you make progress and what feels useful in day-to-day life.

Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow check-ins that match your routine. It can also let you try different ways of meeting that suit a quieter moment, a shorter check-in, or reduced need for long commutes, depending on the formats offered. -
