Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to your needs
Meghan uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s priorities guide the work. This approach emphasizes empathy and collaboration and is helpful for people seeking a respectful, individualized path through life transitions, relationship concerns, or replaying old wounds.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and skills-based and can be effective for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and problem-solving around daily challenges.
Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, is another tool in her practice for teaching emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT techniques can be especially useful for intense emotional reactions, chronic stress, or patterns that interfere with relationships.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works with clients to assess needs, set goals, and adjust methods over time so the therapy fits the person’s preferences and circumstances.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit therapy into busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. These formats make it possible to work with licensed professionals from a distance while maintaining a consistent, goal-oriented therapeutic relationship.
