How Meghan’s Approaches Work Online
Meghan uses client-centered therapy to follow each person’s priorities and pace. This approach focuses on listening and shaping sessions around what matters to the client, which helps people who need supportive, individualized care.She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress because it offers concrete skills to change patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy or DBT provides emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can help with intense emotions, relationship strain, and impulse-related concerns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Meghan will collaborate with the person to choose methods that match goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. This helps people try practical tools while keeping therapy responsive to their needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video lets therapists and clients use visual cues and practice interpersonal skills. Phone sessions can fit during a work break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life demands.
