Background and approach
That can mean learning emotion regulation skills, practicing new ways to communicate, or mapping steps to reduce substance use or sexual-intimacy related harm. Meghan blends cognitive behavioral tools with mindfulness and elements of dialectical behavior work. Those methods help people notice thoughts and habits, try small behavior changes, and manage overwhelming feelings.
She also draws on the Gottman Method when relationship patterns and communication are a focus. Over two decades she has worked in multiple settings, including school systems, which informs how she supports parents and people connected to educational plans like IEPs and 504s.
She also has experience addressing grief, trauma, ADHD, caregiver stress, body image, and a range of personality and attachment concerns. Meghan aims to tailor sessions so they fit what each person needs. She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while helping people set realistic goals.
Taking the first step can feel hard, and she encourages people to reach out when they’re ready.
How her approaches work online
Meghan often blends client-centered care with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on being heard and understood, which lays the foundation for setting practical goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify thought patterns and try concrete behavioral changes to reduce anxiety, depression, or unhelpful habits. Dialectical behavior therapy offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills useful for intense moods, relationship conflict, or crises.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will listen to your situation and goals, then suggest methods to try together. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helpful and what is not, so clients have an active role in shaping their care.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is often used for deeper skills practice and relationship work, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, and continued momentum between longer sessions.
