01About Meagen

Meagen Short is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy a clear, manageable part of life for busy parents and adults. She favors Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based techniques.

Background and approach

Immigration-related issues are an additional focus and she draws on experience from diverse community and behavioral health settings. Meagen has seven years of counseling experience and a master’s degree in counseling. Her background includes early childhood education, early intervention, community mental health, and independent practice.

That range informs her practical approach to problem solving. In sessions she listens first, then works with clients to set clear goals. Conversations aim to produce small, doable steps and tools clients can use between meetings.

The tone is direct but warm, and the plan changes as needs evolve. To begin, clients use the site’s matching process and schedule sessions in the format that fits them best. Meagen prefers a collaborative pace, helping people move from coping to clearer direction over time.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Meagen uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors. CBT sessions often involve setting small goals and practicing new skills between meetings to reduce anxiety or depression symptoms.

She also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, stress, and parenting challenges. These approaches typically focus on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and creating step-by-step plans for change that fit daily life.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist and client review goals and try techniques together, then adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients influence which methods are emphasized and how quickly they progress.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match different needs. Video works well for more in-depth conversations and exercises. Phone sessions are good when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Chat or text can be useful for brief updates, tracking progress, or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These options make scheduling easier and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
