About Viridiana
Viridiana Castro is a California licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with seven years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California.
She focuses on practical conversation and steady guidance. Sessions address relationship problems, grief, intimacy questions, parenting stress, and challenges tied to addiction or compassion fatigue. She also works with issues around abandonment, attachment, adoption and foster care, and family of origin concerns.
Her approach centers on adapting conversations and plans to each person's needs. That means clear steps, focused goals, and checking in on what is and isn’t working. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try different responses, and build everyday skills for coping with hard feelings.
People often come for help with career stress, life transitions, or feelings of emptiness and forgiveness work. She also supports those managing ADHD-related struggles and those rebuilding after separation, domestic violence, or disaster. Sessions look at both current problems and how past experiences affect present choices.
Sessions may include working on communication, commitment concerns, blended family challenges, and fatherhood issues. The therapist offers guidance around drug and alcohol addiction and recovery-related stress.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Many therapists use evidence-based techniques to guide conversation and build skills. One common method focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real situations to reduce overwhelming anxiety and improve mood. Another approach looks at relationship patterns and communication habits so people can try new ways of connecting and setting boundaries.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which techniques fit best based on goals, needs, and preferences. That means trying things, reviewing what helps, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Confirm current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits your schedule. They can also let people work with a licensed professional from different parts of California without changing their routine.
