About Juan
Juan uses straightforward, practical methods to address the patterns that keep people stuck. Sessions focus on reducing overthinking, breaking avoidance habits, and softening a harsh inner critic. Each meeting is designed to leave the person with a concrete step or skill to try during the week.
His approach combines cognitive behavioral techniques for practical skills, acceptance and commitment ideas for working with difficult thoughts and feelings, and existential questions about meaning and purpose. That mix helps with both short-term relief and longer-term direction. Juan describes his style as warm, direct, and free of clinical jargon.
He meets adults and older teens who are figuring out relationships, career direction, or personal values. Juan writes children’s mental health books and shares psychology content online to make ideas accessible beyond sessions. He works in English and Spanish.

How his approaches translate to online therapy
Juan blends cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, and existential work into a practical therapy plan. Cognitive behavioral techniques focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. Acceptance and commitment ideas help people notice difficult feelings without getting stuck and commit to actions that reflect their values. Existential work addresses bigger questions about meaning, purpose, and the life someone wants to build, which can help during major life changes.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Juan will work with each person to figure out which techniques fit their situation and goals. He adapts the plan over time, combining practical skill-building with deeper conversations about values and direction so sessions feel useful from week to week.
If you plan to have online sessions, confirm the available session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people continue work on life changes from wherever they are while still getting regular support and structured next steps.
