About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, depression, addictions, and coping with life changes. Sanjuana also addresses concerns such as ADHD, family and parenting strains, communication problems, and issues tied to guilt and shame.
She uses straightforward talk and practical methods in sessions. Expect conversations that identify what keeps you stuck and small, doable steps to change patterns. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help you notice values and take action that matters.
Sanjuana also works with emotion-focused approaches to help name and process strong feelings from relationships and past hurts. Dialectical behavior strategies are used when emotions feel overwhelming, offering concrete skills for grounding and regulation. Sessions may include Spanish when helpful, since she speaks both English and Spanish.
Her work is respectful and attentive to culture, migration stress, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination. She can discuss concerns around forgiveness, infidelity, isolation, and life purpose in practical terms. The goal in sessions is clearer thinking and steadier action rather than quick fixes.

How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing actions that reflect personal values. Online ACT sessions often involve identifying what matters most and setting small steps to move toward those values despite uncomfortable feelings.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people find and reframe unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. In web-based sessions CBT sessions can include thought records, behavioral experiments, and homework to practice skills between appointments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. When emotions spike, DBT-informed online work can center on short grounding practices, breathing strategies, and planning for calmer responses in real situations.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That selection can shift as clients learn what helps and what doesn’t.
Confirm the exact session formats with the provider before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy as part of everyday life without promising a particular outcome.
