Online support options
How Meghan's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small actions that align with personal values. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change mood and behavior, which can help with anxiety, sleep, eating, and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape trust and intimacy; it can be helpful for relationship strains and issues with closeness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Meghan collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan based on how things are going, so therapy stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, and people who prefer typed communication. These formats make it easier to schedule care around everyday life and to keep momentum between sessions.
