Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Support

Meghan uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities and perspectives shape the work; this approach helps people explore personal values, build self-awareness, and address relationship and identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors - it is practical and often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, making it a good fit for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from these methods to fit what will be most useful for the individual. The intent is to find a practical and sustainable path forward rather than apply a single method to every situation.

Online therapy with Meghan can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain regular appointments, access care from home or work, and continue therapeutic progress during life transitions or logistical challenges.
