Therapeutic approaches and online care

Meghan uses client-centered therapy to place the client’s perspective at the center of work, focusing on empathy, active listening, and building a trusting alliance to explore personal goals and values. This approach is useful for people seeking support with life transitions, self-esteem, and making meaningful changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and skills. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and coping with mood-related concerns.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills to help manage intense emotions and relationship challenges. It can be especially helpful for people struggling with mood instability, self-harm urges, or chronic interpersonal difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will work with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust methods over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy with Meghan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and easier access to support. These options allow scheduling around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities while maintaining consistent, ongoing therapeutic work with a licensed professional.
