Sanjuana Meza

Compassionate, individualized therapy with evidence-based methods

About Sanjuana

Sanjuana Meza uses an individualized, client-centered approach rooted in evidence-based therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation.

Background and approach

She is an Illinois-licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with six years of experience and adapts therapeutic work to fit each person’s circumstances and goals. Her practice emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while creating a collaborative plan aligned with what matters most to the client.

Her work also addresses addictions, depression, anger, ADHD, parenting and family concerns, and life transitions, along with a wide range of related issues such as communication problems, multicultural concerns, and coping with discrimination or immigration-related stress.

Sanjuana draws from approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and client-centered techniques to support practical coping skills and emotional insight. She offers services in English and Spanish in Illinois and shapes conversations and interventions to each individual’s unique needs and values.

Integrating evidence-based approaches with online flexibility

Sanjuana commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and building psychological flexibility so clients can pursue meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. CBT targets the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns through practical skills and behavior change.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist and client work together to choose methods that match the client’s goals, preferences, and presenting concerns, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds to ensure a good fit.

Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access licensed professionals from home or another convenient location, supporting consistent engagement and easier integration of learned skills into daily life.
