About Meghan
Meghan Flanagan is a licensed professional counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with self-esteem, career questions, intimacy concerns, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Meghan practices in Wisconsin and offers online work for people outside the state as well.
Her style is warm and genuine. She aims to create a calm, accepting space where clients can speak openly and try new ways of coping.
How Meghan works
Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than only talking about problems. Meghan uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. She brings mindfulness practice into sessions to help reduce anxiety and manage strong emotions.
Narrative and solution-focused ideas help people rewrite stressful stories and identify small, realistic changes to try between sessions. She tailors each plan to the person in front of her, keeping the work relevant to daily life and immediate concerns. Meghan values hearing people’s stories and respects the courage it takes to reach out for help.
With six years of experience as an LPC, Meghan has worked in a range of care settings and now focuses on shorter-term practical work and deeper trauma-informed support when it is needed. She aims to help people build skills they can use after therapy ends.

Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Meghan blends cognitive behavioral therapy with mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to make online sessions practical and goal oriented. CBT helps people notice and change unhelpful thought patterns and test new behaviors, which works well through video or phone-based conversations. Mindfulness practice teaches simple awareness and breathing skills that can reduce anxiety and improve emotion regulation during and between sessions. Solution-focused techniques keep sessions targeted on small, manageable steps and real-life experiments that clients can try between meetings.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Meghan will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the plan as progress is made, checking in frequently to make sure the approach feels useful and realistic.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls are useful for full conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging allow for brief check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent and to apply new skills in everyday life.
