Meghan Sullivan , LCSW

Meghan Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Pennsylvania who brings a warm, strengths-based approach to psychotherapy. She holds a Master of Social Work (MSW) from the University of Pennsylvania, and she values ongoing learning about therapeutic theory and practice to support meaningful change.

Her style is engaging and client-centered, grounded in humanist and existential perspectives that prioritize personal meaning, growth, and choice. She integrates techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness to offer practical strategies for managing symptoms while attending to deeper questions about identity, purpose, and relationships.

Meghan brings a social justice-oriented lens to her work, recognizing how systemic factors such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, ageism, and other forms of discrimination can shape a person’s experience and wellbeing. She works with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, mood challenges, trauma, identity development, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions.

She identifies as a White, queer, able-bodied ciswoman - pronouns she/her - and lives and works in Pennsylvania on the traditional land of the Lenni Lenape people. Meghan aims to create a respectful, affirming therapeutic space that honors each person’s background and goals.

Approaches, collaboration, and online care with Meghan

Meghan uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust - this approach can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, relationship cycles, or difficulty feeling secure with others. She also practices Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental stance that prioritizes the client's own goals and strengths and supports self-directed growth. In addition, she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns - CBT can be especially useful for managing anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Meghan works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as the work evolves so that therapy fits the individual's life and values.

Online therapy with Meghan is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which provides flexibility for scheduling and allows therapy to fit into busy routines. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and to continue work through life transitions, relocation, or varying levels of need.
