About Agnes

Agnes "Ginger" Segar is a licensed marriage and family therapist practicing in California who brings 14 years of clinical experience to her work.

Background and approach

She helps people navigating stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, self-esteem concerns, and ADHD, and she addresses related topics such as attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication problems, and life transitions. Ginger draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to tailor care to each person's needs and goals.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical skills alongside emotional exploration, helping clients build greater confidence, manage obsessive or phobic reactions, and cope with major life changes like divorce, postpartum depression, or family-of-origin issues. She also works with problems tied to guilt, shame, isolation, and the search for purpose in midlife.

Ginger frames therapy as a process of learning new patterns and strengthening resources so clients can move toward more satisfying daily lives. Available in English and practicing under the CA LMFT 102658 credential, she offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging.

Prospective clients are invited to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Practical therapeutic approaches and flexible online care



Ginger commonly draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques, which help clients identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce anxiety, manage obsessions or phobias, and improve day-to-day functioning. She also integrates humanistic principles that focus on supporting self-esteem, personal growth, and authentic connection, useful for relationship concerns, grief work, and life-purpose exploration.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to understand their goals, preferences, and the specific challenges they face, and then adapts methods so the work fits the client's pace and priorities rather than applying a single formula.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy weeks, allow more immediate check-ins when needed, and expand access for those who prefer remote sessions while living in California.
