About Viridiana

Viridiana Castro is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and struggles with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

Her practice also addresses depression, addictions, grief, family difficulties, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD, along with related issues such as attachment, abandonment, blended family dynamics, and forgiveness. She approaches each client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversations and treatment plans to fit individual needs and goals.

Viridiana emphasizes collaborative work, supporting clients as they take the often-difficult first steps toward greater wellbeing and more satisfying relationships. Sessions are available in English and Spanish for California-based clients, and formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to match different preferences and schedules.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Therapy Options

Viridiana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the presenting concern and client goals. One commonly used approach focuses on skills training and practical strategies to manage stress and anxiety; this involves building coping tools and step-by-step practices to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. Another frequently applied method emphasizes processing trauma and relational patterns through guided conversation and therapeutic interventions that help clients explore attachment, boundaries, and healing after difficult experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and she works collaboratively with each client to determine which techniques fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. Together they review options, test what feels helpful, and adjust the plan over time so work stays relevant and effective for the individual.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to attend regular sessions while balancing work, family, or other commitments, and they allow for ongoing communication and continuity of care between appointments.
