Online session options
Approaches that guide online sessions
Meghan commonly uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and to identify alternative narratives that feel more empowering. Narrative work can be helpful for relationship stress, grief, identity questions, and life transitions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns, and building coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy is another approach she uses to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. The aim is to match methods to problems in a way that feels doable and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and deeper processing. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when being off camera helps someone focus. Live chat and messaging can provide brief check-ins, skill practice, or ongoing coaching between longer sessions. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
