About Meghan
Meghan Sullivan is a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania. She offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Her approach centers on listening and helping clients tell their story in a way that makes sense to them.
She practices Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and attachment-informed approaches. Meghan uses plain language to help clients name what matters, sort through painful memories, and figure out which small changes might make life feel easier.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps that fit each person’s day-to-day life. Her background includes a Master of Social Work and three years of practice as an LCSW working with a wide range of concerns. She pays attention to how social forces such as prejudice and discrimination shape people’s options and emotions.
That perspective shapes how she talks with clients about identity and difficult life events. In sessions she blends tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness with narrative work and attachment ideas. That mix helps with symptoms like sleep trouble, intense worry, low mood, and anger.
Meghan also addresses relationship strain, parenting stresses, grief, and issues tied to sexuality and gender. People who choose her can expect a warm, respectful tone and an emphasis on collaboration. She aims to help clients build clearer choices and stronger coping skills.
Conversations steer toward concrete next steps rather than long lectures.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Meghan commonly uses Narrative Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in online sessions. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so new options can emerge. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect emotions and reactions.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to concerns, try different ways of working, and check in regularly about what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which ideas to emphasize and how to shape sessions around goals and everyday demands.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use body language and see facial cues for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, tracking progress, or when someone needs flexible timing. These options make scheduling simpler and let people fit therapy into busy lives.
