LCPC in Illinois - Anxiety and Stress
See online therapy optionsAbout Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and struggles with motivation. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish and address many everyday concerns that make life harder to manage.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT). In practice she focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts, trying different responses, and building small skills that change how people cope day to day. The work is practical and action-oriented rather than vague or overly theoretical.
Sanjuana helps people work on issues related to addiction, anger, parenting and family stress, and life changes like immigration or relationship problems. She also addresses OCD symptoms, phobias, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation or shame. Sessions look at both immediate coping strategies and patterns that keep problems recurring.
Her style is collaborative. She listens for what matters to the person in front of her and then prioritizes doable steps. Plans may include tracking thoughts, practicing new behaviors, or using acceptance-based exercises where rigid control is causing more harm.
Practicalities are straightforward: therapy uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the online therapy options button.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Sanjuana commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce distress. ACT emphasizes noticing painful thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values even when feelings are difficult.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. They will agree on techniques and a plan that fit the person's needs and routine rather than applying one fixed method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also support consistent practice between sessions, such as tracking thoughts or trying exposure tasks at home, so therapy can be integrated into everyday life.
