01About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza combines a warm, person-centered style with practical techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. She is an Illinois LCPC with six years of professional experience. Sanjuana speaks English and Spanish and aims to make conversations straightforward and respectful.
She uses short, clear sessions to address what matters most now. Conversations focus on coping skills, building motivation, and improving everyday functioning. Sanjuana adapts the pace and topics to each person rather than following a fixed script.
Background and approach
Her approach blends acceptance and commitment ideas with cognitive work and emotion-focused methods. That means clients learn to notice difficult thoughts, practice small behavior changes, and strengthen how they relate to feelings. These tools often help with depression, anxiety, obsessive tendencies, and reactions after trauma.
Sanjuana also draws on dialectical and client-centered methods to support emotion regulation and processing. Practical strategies are paired with listening that centers the person’s values and goals. Parents and individuals concerned about family, parenting, addictions, or life changes find concrete steps to try between sessions.
Sessions may include planning specific changes, rehearsing new responses, and reflecting on progress. She helps people work through multicultural concerns, immigration-related stress, and issues like guilt, forgiveness, or isolation. The focus remains on getting usable tools and clearer direction for daily life.

04Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Sanjuana commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people change what they do around difficult thoughts and feelings. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or worry.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to prioritize listening and building a trusting connection. That approach helps clients feel heard and safe enough to try new skills. Together, these methods are used collaboratively to find what fits your needs and goals rather than forcing one single model.
Online formats offered include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat offer brief check-ins or flexible communication between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while staying focused on practical steps and progress.
