About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who focuses on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside other evidence-based approaches. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and challenges with self-esteem and motivation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish to accommodate bilingual needs.
Sanjuana aims for a respectful, sensitive, and compassionate tone in sessions. She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
Her style is direct but warm, with an emphasis on understanding feelings and practical steps forward. Her background includes six years of professional experience supporting people through life transitions and coping with loss. She also addresses concerns such as addictions, anger, ADHD, and isolation.
Additional focus areas include communication problems, cultural or immigration stress, and issues around guilt, shame, or forgiveness. In practice she uses a mix of approaches to match the work at hand. This can include techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts, build emotion awareness and connection, and develop new coping skills for intense feelings.
The plan evolves as progress happens. People can expect collaborative sessions that balance emotional insight with concrete tools. The therapist invites questions and adjusts pace based on each person’s needs.
Taking the first step is acknowledged as courageous, and ongoing support is offered throughout the process.

Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name their core feelings, then use that awareness to change patterns that cause pain. This approach can be useful for processing grief, trauma reactions, or deep relational emotions even when done remotely.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking action toward what matters despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It offers practical exercises for committing to small changes and can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions through online sessions.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where the person leads the conversation while the therapist listens and reflects. This style supports building confidence and self-understanding, and it adapts well to conversational formats like video or chat.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. Together they choose and adjust methods so the plan fits the person's needs and evolves over time.
Online formats offer flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options help maintain consistency and make it easier to practice skills between meetings.
