Background and approach
Over six years she has supported people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, anger, and life changes. She also helps with ADHD-related challenges and common concerns like isolation, perfectionism, and relationship communication problems. Her work covers a wide range of issues including cultural and immigration-related stress.
Therapy often blends short-term tools and longer reflections. Techniques draw on evidence-informed approaches to change unhelpful thinking and to build skills for handling emotions. Meza encourages practical exercises between sessions so progress carries into everyday life.
People meet her for goal-oriented work and for moments when they need steadier support. She aims to make therapy something people can fit into their lives while keeping focus on meaningful change. Getting started begins with a simple matching and scheduling step.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that feel repetitive. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going, and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when strong emotions cause repeated struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust those methods over time based on progress and feedback.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging gives flexible options to fit different days. Video sessions let people work face to face when it helps, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, chat is useful for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports short updates or ongoing reflection between meetings. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, or daily routines.
