About Sanjuana
Sanjuana Meza is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with six years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, grief, and problems that get in the way of daily life.

She uses methods like acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people name difficult thoughts and try different actions.
Background and approach
Client-centered ideas shape sessions so conversations follow each person’s pace and priorities. Dialectical behavior therapy and emotionally-focused techniques add skills for emotion regulation and building clearer emotional understanding. Sanjuana often supports people coping with trauma, depression, low self-esteem, and addictions.
She also helps with parenting stress, family strain, and life transitions that leave people feeling stuck. Phobias and obsessive or compulsive patterns are among the specific concerns she will address in session. Sessions aim to combine short-term tools and longer-term goals.
That might mean practicing new reactions to fear, learning communication skills, or working through grief at a manageable pace. Sanjuana adapts the plan to fit each person’s needs and background. She emphasizes straightforward conversation and concrete practice between sessions.
The work is collaborative: clients and therapist set goals together and check progress over time. Many people come away with clearer choices and more confidence handling hard moments.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps toward a meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, avoidance, and phobias.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thinking patterns and the behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include short exercises and between-session practice to shift reactions to fear and mood, useful for depression, OCD tendencies, and social anxiety.
Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client's experience and preferences. The therapist follows the client’s pace, offers empathic reflection, and helps people find their own solutions to relationship strain, grief, or life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sanjuana will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their goals and daily life. That joint planning helps keep sessions focused and relevant to what the person most wants to change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose what works best for their schedule. Video is helpful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or text messaging provide brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions.
