About Meghan
Meghan Corkill uses a client-centered approach to guide people through worry, loss, and life transitions. She is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) and a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with 21 years of experience in Illinois and Iowa. Meghan speaks plainly and focuses on practical steps you can use between sessions.
She helps with stress, anxiety, depression, and issues around addiction and intimacy. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, sleep problems, parenting strain, career changes, and challenges tied to ADHD or bipolar symptoms.
Background and approach
Meghan works with concerns about self-esteem, anger, and relationship patterns as well. Her practice draws on Client-Centered Therapy to build a respectful, nonjudgmental conversation. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) tools for managing strong emotions.
The Gottman Method and mindfulness techniques are used when relationship skills or present-moment awareness can help. Meghan has experience with a wide variety of additional issues, including attachment and adoption topics, body image, caregiver stress, and sexual expression such as kink and BDSM.
She has worked in school settings and can help with questions that relate to education planning such as IEPs and 504s. Her style is practical and collaborative. Meghan will tailor conversations and steps to fit each person’s goals.
To begin, she asks new clients to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a session according to availability.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful conversation where the person leads the pace and topic. Online sessions let that tone continue through video, phone, chat, or text while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down thoughts, feelings, and actions into steps you can change. In an online session CBT tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and to practice small behavior changes between meetings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as work continues.
Online formats provide practical flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when video is not needed. Live chat and text-based messaging offer brief check-ins, ongoing homework support, or a way to communicate between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while using the approaches that fit each person’s needs.
