About Meaghan

Meaghan Tine is a licensed clinician who blends practical talk and collaborative planning to help people make meaningful changes. She holds an MD and is a Licensed Certified Social Worker in Maryland - LCSW-C. Meaghan draws on nine years of professional experience to guide conversations about stress, anxiety, motivation, and self-worth.

Her approach centers on understanding a person’s whole life. She asks about routines, supports, and stressors to spot what’s keeping someone stuck.

Background and approach

Meaghan uses clear tools and small steps so progress feels manageable rather than overwhelming. She works with issues often tied to life transitions, including the perinatal period, parenting concerns, grief, and compassion fatigue. Meaghan also addresses addictions, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and challenges like postpartum depression and smoking or vaping cessation.

Sessions focus on practical strategies tailored to each situation. Meaghan draws from Client-Centered techniques to listen deeply and from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She brings Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused tools when people need help finding momentum and defining clear next steps.

Therapy conversations typically include exploring goals, trying brief exercises, and checking what works between sessions. She talks plainly about options and helps people choose approaches that fit their lives. Meaghan practices in Maryland and offers sessions in English using video, phone, chat, or text messaging formats.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options

This therapist uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes careful listening and building a respectful, collaborative relationship so people feel heard and understood.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Meaghan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term problem solving, thought-based work, or a mix of methods that match the person’s needs.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make counseling more flexible. These formats let people fit therapy into busy schedules, continue support through life changes, and revisit notes or exercises between meetings. The emphasis is on practical tools, clear goals, and making help attainable from wherever the person is located.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
