About San
San Juanita Diaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 29 years of experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, anger, low self-esteem, depression, grief, and the strains of life changes. She also supports people facing addictions, relationship and career concerns, parenting struggles, and compassion fatigue.
She helps individuals who are living with chronic illness or aging concerns, as well as people involved with adoption and foster care. Her background includes work in nursing homes, outpatient clinics, vocational programs, a women's shelter, and substance abuse facilities. That mix of settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems.
San Juanita uses a person-centered style as her foundation. She layers in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and solution-focused strategies when they fit the situation. Sessions often focus on building coping skills, shifting unhelpful thoughts, and finding small, actionable steps forward.
She has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a master’s degree in Counseling and Guidance. For 15 years she provided counseling to families involved with Child Protective Services, and she has experience with people from roughly age 5 through very old age. That experience informs how she adapts techniques for different life stages.
In practice she pays attention to rapport and a strong working relationship. Expect direct, practical conversations about what is causing distress and what changes might help. Prospective clients who want to explore anger, stress, or life transition work are encouraged to review her online therapy options and complete the matching questionnaire before scheduling.
How sessions work
How her approaches map to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions can use that same focus by prioritizing the client's concerns and pacing work around what feels manageable. This approach helps when someone needs to talk through anger, life transitions, or relationship stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is about noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviors and trying small experiments to change them. Online CBT sessions often include practical homework, thought records, and short skill practices that fit into daily life. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on clear goals and small steps that move a person toward what they want; it suits people who prefer direct, action-oriented sessions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then choose strategies together. That collaborative process helps tailor each session to the client's needs without assuming a fixed plan upfront.
Confirm current session formats before booking, since formats were not specified in the original profile. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins between appointments. They also let people use focused exercises and homework that can be reviewed together during a session.
