San Juanita Diaz , LPC

San Juanita Diaz is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas with 29 years of experience. She focuses on working with women, especially those navigating life changes after age 50, and helps them manage anxiety and rebuild confidence. Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who want practical support and clear steps forward.

Diaz uses person-centered care as the foundation of her work. She listens first, then helps clients set goals that matter to them. She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques and solution-focused methods when those tools fit the situation.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in Counseling and Guidance. Over nearly three decades she has worked in many settings, including nursing homes, outpatient clinics, vocational training programs, a women’s shelter, and substance abuse facilities. She also spent 15 years providing counseling for families involved with Child Protective Services.

Clients often come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and relationship or family-of-origin problems. Diaz offers support for parenting challenges, midlife transitions, and issues tied to adoption and foster care.

Sessions aim to strengthen the working relationship and build practical skills. Diaz focuses on helping people name what’s hard, identify small changes, and practice new ways of coping so everyday life becomes more manageable.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

San Juanita Diaz centers her work around person-centered care. That means she begins by listening to what matters most and then shapes sessions around each person’s values and goals. This approach helps people feel heard and respected while figuring out practical next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses to set small, achievable goals and build momentum toward change; it works well for people who want short-term, action-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Diaz will collaborate with clients to choose which methods to try based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations when visual cues help. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can be a flexible way to keep momentum between meetings or fit brief check-ins into a busy day. These options make it easier to access care from different locations and schedules.
