Background and approach
Mindfulness skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are used to help calm intense emotions and build steady routines. When relationship strains or intimacy questions come up, she draws on Gottman Method ideas to support clearer communication.

That background helps when parents need help navigating school concerns such as IEPs and 504 plans. She has also supported people facing addiction, trauma, grief, bipolar symptoms, and long-term stress. Sessions focus on the client’s goals.
She listens for what matters most and adjusts plans based on progress. The work can include short skills practice, problem solving between sessions, and planning for tricky real-life moments. Meghan practices in Illinois and holds both Illinois LCPC and Iowa LMHC credentials.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your schedule
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person’s priorities. The therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects concerns, and helps shape goals based on what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want someone to hear them and help clarify next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It helps with anger, anxiety, depression, and stress by breaking problems into small, manageable steps and testing what works in daily life.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. These techniques can be helpful when emotions feel overwhelming or when relationships become heated or confusing.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or adapt methods based on goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is needed. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option or easier during a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief tools and reminders. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other responsibilities while keeping focus on skills and steady progress.
