Online session options
How Meghan’s approaches fit into online therapy
Meghan uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and retell the stories that shape their lives. This approach looks at how a person frames events and relationships, and opens space to create different, more helpful narratives. It can be useful for relationship issues, identity questions, and patterns that feel stuck.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence. CBT offers concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress, like trying small behavioral experiments and practicing new thinking habits.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will talk with each person about their goals and try different methods to see what feels most helpful. Together they set priorities, track progress, and adjust the plan as needed.
Online therapy sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for in-depth conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a busy day, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules while keeping treatment consistent and focused.
