About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, parenting and life changes. Sanjuana supports people questioning their life purpose and those coping with ADHD related struggles. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.
Sanjuana bases sessions on clear, practical conversation. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to shape the work. That mix helps her address difficult emotions, patterns of avoidance, and relationship concerns in concrete ways.
In early meetings she focuses on what feels most urgent. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, try small experiments, and build skills for handling stress and strong emotions. She also supports people processing loss, trauma, and challenges tied to immigration or cultural stress.
Sanjuana adapts the pace to each person. For someone questioning career or meaning after a big change, she frames conversations to clarify values and next steps rather than promising a single answer. For parenting or family strain she helps individuals with communication skills and problem-solving.
Her practical approach includes checking progress and adjusting methods when needed. She asks about daily routines, supports skill practice between sessions, and focuses on steps people can use in their everyday lives.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them. Online sessions can use ACT to clarify personal values and build small daily actions that align with what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. In remote sessions CBT often includes short between-session experiments, tracking patterns, and practicing coping skills in real life. Choosing an approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, preferences, and current needs. That means adjusting techniques if something isn’t working and mixing approaches where helpful. The practical benefits of online meetings include fitting sessions into an everyday schedule and making it easier to keep regular contact while balancing work or family commitments. Some people prefer shorter check-ins or sessions that do not require video; others use longer sessions for deeper processing. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm which options are offered before booking. The goal is to make therapy workable alongside daily life, with methods and timing adapted to each person's circumstances.Areas of expertise
