She often works with concerns that come with aging and geriatric issues, along with chronic illness and caregiver stress. San Juanita draws on a person-centered way of working, listening first to what matters most to each person. Then she helps set clear goals and small steps to get there.

She has worked in nursing homes, outpatient clinics, vocational training programs, a women's shelter, and substance abuse programs. She also spent 15 years providing counseling services related to Child Protective Services.

In sessions she blends client-centered care with practical tools from cognitive behavioral approaches and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions include listening, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new strategies between meetings. She also uses supportive work, mindfulness, and strength- and values-based reminders when helpful.

San Juanita aims to build a strong working relationship first. She focuses on creating a calm space to talk about worries, grief, caregiving strain, and transitions, and then helping people practice small changes that add up over time.

Approaches that guide online work and decision making

San Juanita draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused ideas to guide her work. Client-centered therapy means she starts by listening closely and following what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and set priorities for change.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It is useful for addressing anxiety, mood changes, and unhelpful patterns that interfere with daily life. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small, practical steps and what works now to move a person toward their goals.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and preferences rather than using a single plan for everyone. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them over time.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists can use the approaches described above in remote sessions to focus on coping with life changes, caregiving stress, anxiety, and practical strategies that transfer into everyday routines.
