About Meghan
Meghan Flanagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, grief, and questions about identity and intimacy. She supports those coping with life changes, chronic illness or caregiver strain, and concerns like self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Meghan works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, bipolar mood concerns, and issues related to attachment and abandonment.
Her approach is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a calm space where people can talk through hard things without feeling judged.
Background and approach
Meghan adapts each plan to match the person she is seeing, using practical tools alongside listening and reflection. In sessions she mixes evidence-based tools with reflective conversation. That may mean using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to shift patterns, or drawing on Narrative Therapy to reframe difficult stories.
Mindfulness skills and solution-focused steps also appear when they fit the goal. Meghan brings six years of clinical experience in a range of settings. She has worked with clients in outpatient and crisis contexts and has experience in environments that focus on intense emotional needs.
Her license is LPC, Wisconsin license WI LPC 11393-125. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.
People begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Meghan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to change moods or reactions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding skills to reduce stress and manage intense feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then choose methods that match those needs. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress and goals change.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions can be useful when video is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between appointments. These options give flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels while keeping the focus on meaningful, goal-oriented care.
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.
Existential Therapy
Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
Mindfulness Therapy
Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
