About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza offers a practical, person-focused approach to therapy using methods that help people notice what matters and take steps toward it. She is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois and brings six years of experience to sessions. Sanjuana speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and easy to follow.
She helps people manage stress and anxiety with clear, teachable skills. She works with grief, depression, self-esteem concerns, and addictions by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.
Background and approach
For those who have experienced trauma or abuse she focuses on safety and steady coping, rather than rushing change. Sanjuana uses acceptance and commitment ideas alongside cognitive behavior strategies to address unhelpful thoughts and avoidant patterns. She also draws on client-centered and emotionally focused principles to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk.
Dialectical behavior skills appear in her work when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. Her approach is collaborative. Sanjuana tailors conversations and plans to each person's needs and life situation.
She listens for strengths and builds practical strategies that fit day-to-day life. If someone is dealing with parenting strain, communication problems, immigration stress, ADHD, obsessional thoughts, or feelings of isolation, she brings focused tools and steady support. The goal is clearer thinking, stronger coping, and safer choices that match personal values.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Sanjuana often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify values and take committed steps, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that align with what matters most, which can suit issues like anxiety, grief, or life transitions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice concrete behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, obsessive thoughts, and phobias because it breaks problems into skills and experiments to try between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Sanjuana will talk through goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and make changes at a comfortable pace.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for her clients. Video calls let people work face-to-face when schedules or travel are difficult. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill reminders, and ongoing connection between scheduled meetings. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
