About Sanjuana

Sanjuana Meza is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) based in Illinois. She uses a respectful, compassionate style to help people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. Her approach focuses on practical steps and clear conversation to make changing habits and emotions feel possible.

She has six years of clinical experience helping people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports clients working through trauma, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and addiction. Sanjuana adapts her sessions to each person, aiming for straightforward tools that fit daily life.

Sanjuana draws from multiple approaches to shape treatment. She often uses acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and build action. Cognitive behavioral techniques help with unhelpful thinking patterns and behavior changes. Emotion-focused ideas guide moments when feelings need careful attention.

Sessions emphasize practical skills, simple experiments, and honest conversation. Sanjuana listens for what matters most and adjusts pacing to match each person. She invites people to try new ways of coping without pressure.

Spanish and English are both available for sessions. The process starts with a short questionnaire to match needs, then scheduling follows the therapist's availability. Sanjuana encourages people to take the first step when they feel ready and offers steady support through the changes they want to make.

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward them. Online sessions can help people notice what matters and build everyday actions that reflect those values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In a remote setting, this often looks like tracking thoughts, trying brief experiments between visits, and reviewing results together. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and work through strong feelings so relationships and self-understanding can shift; online conversations can provide a steady space to practice new emotional responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, needs, and preferences and then suggest which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling during a busy day, fewer travel needs, and the ability to fit short check-ins around work or family time. Online visits can also make it simpler to use written worksheets, mood tracking, and audio practices between sessions. Ask about available formats when you match and schedule so the sessions fit your routine.
