Online support options
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Meghan uses client-centered therapy to start by listening closely to each person's concerns and priorities, then shaping sessions around what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance, which can be useful for stress, anger, and relationship challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will discuss what methods might fit your goals and try different strategies together until something feels useful. She involves clients in setting goals and adjusts the plan based on progress and preferences.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face-to-face from wherever you are, phone sessions use less bandwidth for easier check-ins, live chat allows short real-time conversations, and text-based messaging supports brief updates or between-session work. These options make it easier to fit care into a busy life while using the same therapeutic techniques you would get in person.
