About Meekah

Meekah Reeves is a licensed clinical social worker with 25 years of experience who focuses on practical support for everyday struggles. She speaks plainly and aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, sleep problems, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Meekah also provides coaching around career changes, parenting challenges, and coping with major life shifts.

She uses straightforward conversation, goal-setting, and action steps to help people move forward. Meekah trained at Columbia University where she earned a masters degree in social work in 2008.

Background and approach

She also holds a birth doula certification from DONA International and Lamaze training, which inform her understanding of perinatal issues and related stressors. Her background includes work in hospital settings across New York, giving her experience with medical and caregiver-related concerns. In sessions she draws on client-centered ways of working, cognitive behavioral techniques, and solution-focused strategies.

That means she listens first, then helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns, and sets small, achievable steps to build change. She sometimes integrates faith-based resources like prayer or scripture when clients say those tools feel helpful. Meekah explains things in clear terms and focuses on strengths and practical tools.

She welcomes people who want a mix of emotional support and concrete skills. Conversations often include coping strategies, short-term goals, and ways to bring more balance into daily life. She practices in New York and offers services in English.

Meekah describes herself as warm and direct and intends to partner with clients who want to work toward specific improvements.

Approaches and how online therapy works

Meekah uses client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution-focused tools to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy means she listens closely and follows the clients lead, helping people feel heard and understood. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on recognizing unhelpful thoughts and testing practical ways to change them, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Solution-focused therapy emphasizes small steps and clear goals to build momentum and handle immediate problems.

Choosing a method is a collaborative process. Meekah will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest approaches to try together. She adjusts plans based on progress and what feels most useful to the person over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules or those who cannot meet in person. These options make it easier to fit regular check-ins into life, practice skills between sessions, and get timely support when coping with stress, parenting challenges, or life transitions. Licensed professionals can adapt the same practical techniques used in office settings to these remote formats.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
