About Viridiana

LMFT (California) with 7 years of clinical experience, Viridiana Castro focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and addiction-related issues. She speaks English and Spanish and practices in California. Her work also includes grief, intimacy-related struggles, parenting questions, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Viridiana frames sessions around clear, evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She listens for what is most urgent and builds straightforward ways to address it. Sessions look at current patterns, how relationships affect daily life, and practical steps a person can try between meetings.

Her additional experience includes adoption and foster care topics, attachment and family of origin concerns, blended family dynamics, and fatherhood issues. She also helps people navigate separation, domestic violence histories, substance-related problems, abandonment, and forgiveness questions.

Viridiana uses a collaborative approach to set goals and choose methods. She explains options in plain language and adjusts the plan as progress is seen. The process combines talking about experiences with concrete skills for managing stress, mood, and relationship moments.

Practical matters such as scheduling and cost follow a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a prospective client completes a short questionnaire and schedules the first session. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Viridiana works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day patterns and concrete skills. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real situations to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method teaches practical exercises to change thinking patterns and supports daily coping. Another approach centers on understanding attachment and relationship dynamics, looking at how early patterns shape current relationship behavior and communication. That work involves mapping interactions and practicing different responses to improve connection and boundaries.

Choosing the best approach is part of the first sessions. She collaborates with each person to set goals, review options, and try methods to see what fits. The treatment plan can change based on what proves most effective for the client's needs and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when needed, reduce commute time, and let people keep continuity of care during life transitions. Licensed professionals often use remote sessions to maintain consistent progress while adapting scheduling to everyday life.
