About Agnes
Agnes "Ginger" Segar is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) practicing in California with 14 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem setbacks, and ADHD. Sessions address everyday problems like feeling isolated, struggling with communication, or coping after a major life change.
Ginger favors straightforward, evidence-based techniques drawn from several clinical traditions. She uses practical tools to manage anxiety and obsessive thoughts, and she helps people build clearer communication and healthier day-to-day routines. Conversations are focused and goal-oriented, with a mix of short skills practice and reflective talk.
Her background includes work with attachment and caregiver stress, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, and postpartum depression. That experience informs how she helps people navigate family-related patterns and recover after relationship losses. She also supports people coping with guilt, shame, and the social isolation that often accompanies anxiety.
In sessions she may combine behavioral strategies with humanistic listening and situational problem solving. This can look like setting small behavioral goals, trying new ways to communicate, and reviewing what works between sessions. The aim is to build manageable steps rather than overwhelming plans.
Ginger conducts work in English and practices in California. Practical details about scheduling and how sessions are arranged are handled when someone chooses to proceed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session.
Therapeutic approaches used and how online sessions work
She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioral changes. That approach is often used for anxiety, phobias, obsessions, and stress because it focuses on practical steps and repeated practice.Ginger also incorporates humanistic listening practices which emphasize understanding a person's experience and values. This helps people clarify goals, strengthen self-esteem, and make relationship decisions that fit their life.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. She will review options with each person and pick techniques that match their goals and preferences, adjusting as progress or setbacks appear. The process is collaborative and paced to the person's comfort.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so people can schedule around work or childcare. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone formats and focus on concrete skills that transfer into daily life.
