About Sanjuana

Sanjuana Meza is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who uses collaborative, person-focused methods to help people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges with motivation and self-esteem.

Background and approach

She draws on six years of clinical experience in Illinois to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person's goals and circumstances, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Her work often addresses mood concerns such as depression and anxiety, coping with life changes, and substance-related struggles, while also attending to relationship and communication issues.

Sanjuana incorporates evidence-based strategies alongside relational support to help clients build confidence, manage anger, and address persistent patterns like obsessive thoughts or social avoidance. Fluent in English and Spanish, she offers a practical approach that balances emotional exploration with skills-based interventions.

Prospective clients are invited to take the first step toward meaningful change by completing a brief matching process and scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Sanjuana commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which focuses on clarifying values and building psychological flexibility so clients can take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a hands-on approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression.

Finding the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist will work together with each client to explore which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time to support progress and personal priorities.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility for different schedules and communication styles. These formats allow clients to engage in skills practice, emotional processing, and goal-setting from locations that fit their lives while maintaining continuity of care across appointments.
