Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Meghan frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing stress, anxiety, and mood changes. CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers concrete tools for change.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach present-focused awareness and emotion regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity and improve coping with chronic stress, grief, and relationship challenges. Mindfulness practices are brief and adaptable to remote sessions.

Narrative Therapy is another approach Meghan employs to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves, separate problems from identity, and build alternative narratives that align with their values and goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - Meghan works with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies over time as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility, allowing work to continue via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity with a licensed professional and the therapeutic work.
