Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Meghan draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which helps people identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and build practical skills to manage mood and behavior, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness for intense emotions or relationship strain. She also incorporates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships influence current patterns, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, trust issues, and long-standing emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Meghan collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so that therapy remains responsive and goal-oriented.

These options support continuity of care and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for their life.
