About Meghan
Meghan Gallagher is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, anger, career questions, coaching needs, and ADHD. She speaks English and brings ten years of professional experience to her practice.
Meghan keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She creates a calm setting where clients can say what they mean and feel heard.
How Meghan works
Conversations focus on small, manageable steps so progress can be seen between meetings. The aim is to build on strengths and restore a sense of control. Her approach is evidence informed and goal oriented.
Meghan helps people identify patterns that get in the way, try new ways of coping, and adjust habits that no longer serve them. She pays attention to life transitions and to issues such as postpartum changes, aging concerns, and end-of-life needs when they come up.
Meghan has worked across areas related to mood disorders, panic and social anxiety, obsessions and compulsions, impulsivity, and family and communication problems. She also supports people facing domestic violence, bereavement connected to hospice and end-of-life situations, and challenges tied to pregnancy and childbirth. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging.
Meghan describes the work as collaborative - she and the client decide on goals, track progress, and make adjustments as needed.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care
Meghan uses evidence-informed therapeutic techniques that are practical and goal focused. One common way she works is by helping people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, then testing new responses to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. This approach helps with panic, social anxiety, and low mood by breaking problems into manageable steps.She also emphasizes skills for coping with trauma, grief, and strong emotions. That can include learning grounding strategies, improving emotional regulation, and developing routines that reduce impulsivity and isolation. These skills are useful for problems like trauma, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and mood instability.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative effort. Meghan will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan as progress is tracked together. The client’s needs and preferences guide which techniques are used and how sessions are structured.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people work face to face when visual cues matter, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a quick break, live chat allows typed check-ins between meetings, and text messaging supports brief updates and reminders. These options help people maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into a busy life.
