Background and approach

Meghan also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness practices for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Over two decades of work have exposed her to many settings, including school systems and addiction care. That experience informs how she supports people with trauma, grief, bipolar issues, ADHD, and caregiving stress.

She is familiar with practical school-related needs such as IEPs and 504 plans when those matters come up in sessions. Meghan treats concerns such as body image, attachment and abandonment issues, and nontraditional sexual cultures with sensitivity and without judgment. She frames the work as a collaboration and tailors plans to each person’s life and values.

Clients can expect clear goals, skill-building, and a focus on usable steps between sessions. Meghan encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy and helps them take the first step toward change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Meghan commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy in online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and tailoring conversations to each person so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises people can practice between meetings.

She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding practices. These approaches work well online because they break emotional skills into short, teachable steps that can be practiced during and after sessions.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adapt methods as the work progresses. Clients can expect clear goals, homework exercises, and regular check-ins to see what’s helping.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for in-depth skill work. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send quick updates or work through a skill in writing between sessions. These options help make ongoing therapy easier to fit into a busy life.
