01About Sequoia
Sequoia San Juan welcomes people carried hard by stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, trauma, or low self-esteem. She offers a calm, steady presence for those who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to begin. Sequoia holds a California LPCC and brings seven years of clinical experience to her work.
She keeps sessions straightforward and human. Conversations focus on what is most urgent to the client right now. She listens carefully to each person’s story and helps name patterns that keep them stuck.
Background and approach
Practical steps and gentle reflection are used together so change feels manageable. Sequoia uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help with anxiety, panic, and depression. She also draws on client-centered and narrative methods to make space for the parts of a person that need to be heard.
Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure how to take the next step. Her style is collaborative and paced to each client. She helps people find small, concrete ways to feel steadier between sessions.
Work may include skill practice, changing unhelpful thoughts, and reshaping the stories people tell about themselves. Sessions include talk and focused exercises rather than long lectures. The aim is clearer communication, fewer shutdowns in relationships, and better tools for coping with life changes.
Sequoia meets adults in California who want a practical, compassionate approach to emotional work.

04Online support
How therapeutic approaches come alive online
Sequoia blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centered work means the conversation is guided by what matters most to the person in the room, creating space to tell and revise personal stories. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and panic. Mindfulness practices teach simple attention and grounding skills to manage stress and intense emotions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sequoia will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try methods, see what helps, and adjust the plan over time rather than sticking to one rigid path.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins, coaching between sessions, or a way to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to use approaches like CBT and mindfulness from wherever a person is located.
