Background and approach

Approach Options and Online Care

Meg uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on helping people manage mood, cope with loss, and reduce problematic behaviors. One approach emphasizes learning practical coping skills to manage anxiety and depression, teaching step-by-step practices people can try between sessions. Another approach targets addictive behaviors and co-occurring mood concerns with structured strategies to spot triggers and build healthier routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit each person. This is a collaborative process where adjustments are made based on what helps most.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video calls let people see facial cues and do longer conversations. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited. Chat or text is useful for brief check-ins, written reflections, or when a shorter touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options help people keep therapy consistent while balancing work, family, and other commitments.
