Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. It is practical and goal-oriented, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Solution-Focused Therapy centers on a person’s strengths and resources, emphasizing small, achievable steps toward the changes a person wants to make; it is often helpful for problem-solving, life transitions, and relationship or parenting challenges. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impacts of traumatic experiences by helping people process and reduce the ways trauma affects thinking, emotions, and daily functioning, and it is used when past events continue to interfere with present life.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works with clients to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts methods accordingly, combining strategies when appropriate to create a tailored plan. Clients and therapist work together to decide what feels most helpful in therapy.

Online therapy offers flexibility and access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and maintain continuity of care across life circumstances, while enabling licensed professionals to support clients from a distance.
