About Meg
Meg Gemelli is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in North Carolina with 17 years of clinical experience. She uses a warm, experiential style that aims to bring insight, gentle challenge, and even moments of joy into sessions. Meg focuses on relationships, grief, intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, self-esteem, career questions, depression, and ADHD-related challenges.
Her approach centers on attachment and emotional connection.
How Meg works
She often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people understand patterns in close relationships and to shift how they respond to one another. She blends that work with client-centered listening, narrative methods that reframe personal stories, and motivational interviewing to support change. Meg has worked in a range of settings, including outpatient offices, residential treatment, faith-based programs, hospitals, and schools.
That variety informs practical ways she helps people apply changes outside the therapy room. Her background includes long-term work with individuals and couples facing relational and life-transition challenges. In sessions she aims for a balance of depth and practicality.
Conversations move between exploring early attachment patterns and developing concrete steps for daily life. She also incorporates coaching elements to support career or confidence goals. Meg values human connection and believes most progress happens when people feel understood and respected.
She encourages questions and collaboration about goals and next steps before beginning therapy.

Online support options
Attachment and Emotion-Focused Care Online
Meg often uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and change patterns in close relationships. This method focuses on feelings and interaction cycles so partners or individuals can respond differently and feel more connected. Attachment-Based Therapy is another focus and looks at how early bonds shape current reactions and needs; it helps people notice those patterns and create safer ways of relating. Narrative Therapy is used to examine personal stories and find new meanings when old narratives get in the way of growth.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will ask about your goals, preferences, and the problems you want to address, then suggest methods that fit your situation. Together you can try different tools and adjust the focus as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let you work face-to-face while fitting sessions into a busy schedule. Phone sessions can be simpler when lower bandwidth or less screen time is needed. Chat and messaging provide short, timely check-ins or a way to reflect between appointments.
