Online session options
How narrative and practical methods work online
Meghan uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves and their problems, which can reduce shame and open new choices. Client-Centered Therapy means she listens deeply and follows the client's lead, creating space for honest conversation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques are used to identify and test thoughts and behaviors with simple, doable experiments to reduce anxiety or shift mood.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Meghan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods, check what helps, and adjust the plan so the work fits the person's life and pace.
Online formats provide flexibility for ongoing work. Video calls let people meet face to face when discussion and connection matter most. Phone sessions can fit a short check-in or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief updates, ongoing coaching, or support between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy schedule while keeping the focus on progress and practical steps.
