About Meryl

Meryl Galvan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with 12 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, families, and couples through a wide range of mental health concerns. She brings focused clinical experience in trauma, grief, relationship challenges, health psychology, and substance use, and she approaches each case with a balance of compassion and practical problem solving. Her work in outpatient settings has included supervising teams of clinicians to help maintain consistent, high-quality care for clients.

Her therapeutic style is patient and engaging, combining empathy with direct, sincere guidance so clients can develop insight, build coping skills, and move toward resolution. She uses evidence-based methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) - for which she is a certified therapist - and Solution Focused Therapy to tailor treatment to specific needs. As an LMHC she is a licensed mental health professional qualified to provide counseling services in Florida.

Meryl holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology from the University of West Florida, and she has additional certification in health psychology. She focuses on delivering practical strategies that endure beyond the immediate crisis, helping people feel more capable in their daily lives and better prepared for future challenges.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Therapy

Meryl draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and EMDR to address a range of emotional and behavioral concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and teaching practical skills to change them - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and relationship challenges. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method designed to reduce the impact of distressing memories and associated symptoms when trauma is a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and then tailor techniques from these approaches to create a treatment plan that fits the individual. That collaboration helps ensure therapy is both relevant and workable for daily life.

Online sessions with licensed professionals offer practical flexibility - appointments by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access care from different locations. These options allow for consistent momentum in treatment and for applying skills between sessions in real-world settings.
