Sanjuana Meza

Sanjuana Meza is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois who centers her work on the person in front of her. She focuses on building a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk about stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, low self-esteem, and motivation. She adapts sessions to each person's needs and pace. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish.

With six years of clinical experience, she draws on several practical approaches to help people manage thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client's lead and create understanding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to recognize what matters most to them and take steps toward those values.

Meza also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and Emotionally-Focused Therapy for moments when relationship patterns or strong feelings are central. She works with a wide range of concerns including addictions, parenting stress, ADHD, anger, and life transitions. Additional focuses include communication problems, guilt and shame, immigration issues, and multicultural concerns.

Her style is straightforward and empathetic. She aims to make each session practical, with clear steps people can use between meetings. She encourages small, steady progress and adjusts the plan as needs change.

To begin, she asks people to select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling according to availability.
