About Meghan

Meghan Pardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 12 years of clinical experience in California. She helps people sort through feelings that feel overwhelming and confusing. Her first aim is to listen closely and help clients take the first small step toward change.

She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction concerns, and anger. She also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship struggles, caregiving stress, and life transitions.

Background and approach

Meghan offers practical strategies alongside space to process difficult emotions. In sessions she mixes emotion-focused work with skills-based tools. That can mean naming and tracking feelings one week, and practicing coping skills the next.

She uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques depending on each person’s needs. Meghan takes a collaborative approach. She helps clients set clear, realistic goals and checks in often to see what’s working.

She explains tools in plain language and practices them together in session so clients feel confident using them outside therapy. People who come to Meghan often want a calm, steady guide as they make changes. She values patience and directness and adjusts pace to match each person.

If someone is ready to begin, she helps them map the next steps toward better mood, clearer thinking, and more manageable reactions.

How Meghan Integrates Approaches Online

Meghan often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, low mood, and anger. She also draws on emotion-focused work, such as emotionally-focused therapy, to help people name, understand, and shift painful emotional patterns in relationships and self-work.

These methods are offered collaboratively. Meghan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then choose which approaches to try first. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques based on what the person finds useful so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions can include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is strong for more in-depth conversations and practicing skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging works for quick check-ins, coaching-style support, or brief skill practice between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help people keep momentum while managing busy lives.
