About Sequoia
Sequoia San Juan is a licensed professional clinical counselor who focuses on stress and anxiety. She offers a calm presence for people carrying heavy feelings. Her style aims to make it easier to set things down and to breathe when worry or panic feels overwhelming.
She brings a warm, compassionate approach and listens closely to each person's story. Sessions move at a pace that respects how someone is coping right now.
Background and approach
Sequoia uses clear, practical tools to help people untangle anxious thoughts and cope with intense feelings. Her work often addresses anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, and relationship or intimacy-related issues. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, loneliness, life transitions, and panic attacks.
Conversations can include communication skills and exploring life purpose when that feels relevant. Sequoia draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Narrative Therapy. She blends these approaches to fit what a person needs in the moment rather than using a single method all the time.
Sequoia has seven years of clinical experience and practices in California as an LPCC - licensed professional clinical counselor. Her manner is steady and nonjudgmental, and she aims to help people find clearer steps forward. If someone wants practical coping skills and space to be heard, she provides both.
Approaches that fit real life and online care
Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's experience by treating them as the expert on their life. In practice this means sessions focus on listening, reflecting, and allowing people to guide which topics feel most important. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and builds small, practical experiments to test new ways of responding to anxiety and panic. Mindfulness Therapy brings attention to the present moment with breathing and grounding exercises that can reduce stress and sharpen awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sequoia collaborates with each person to choose which methods to try first and adjusts based on how those tools land. She mixes listening and skill-building so the work stays practical and relevant to a person's goals and day-to-day challenges.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers no camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make shorter check-ins possible and can fit into busy schedules. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use therapeutic tools in the moments they are needed.
