About Meghan Perez

Meghan Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who has spent more than a decade supporting people with mental health diagnoses. She holds both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work with a specialty in mental health, and completed two years of supervised clinical mental health training to qualify as a clinical practitioner.

She is especially experienced in working with depression and anxiety and recognizes how those labels often overlap with other concerns. Her practice also makes room for relationship challenges, body dysmorphia, major life changes, grief, addiction, trauma and abuse, and a range of intimacy-related and self-esteem issues. Meghan describes her therapeutic stance as direct, honest, and heartfelt - she brings respect and compassion for people’s pain and values small steps as meaningful progress.

Clinically she draws from multiple approaches rather than adhering to a single modality. She uses components of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), blends narrative techniques with motivational interviewing, and incorporates psychodynamic ideas when they fit the work. Meghan prefers a collaborative rhythm - following the client’s lead while offering a strong guiding hand. She does not promise grand guarantees or sell quick fixes; instead she offers steady engagement and an invitation to try on healing and change.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy with Meghan Perez

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and trying small, practical experiments to shift those patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with coping. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way of exploring ambivalence about change - it helps people find their own reasons for moving toward new behaviors, which can be useful for issues like addiction, motivation, and decision making. Narrative Therapy invites people to examine the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, separating problems from identity so new meanings and possibilities can emerge.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Meghan helps determine the best fit together with each person, considering their needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques in a collaborative way rather than applying a single method across the board.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can occur by video call or phone, and many clients also use live chat or text-based messaging when that format fits their life. These options make it easier to access consistent support around busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or geographic constraints, while allowing therapists to use the approaches described above in ways that suit each client.
