About Meghan
Meghan Pardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist who brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work. She starts by helping people name what feels off and what they want to change. Her approach is straightforward and compassionate.
She emphasizes clear steps over jargon so parents and adults can make progress without extra stress. Meghan listens for the practical patterns behind anxiety, stress, sleep problems, and relationship strains.
Background and approach
She uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and rebuild routines. She also addresses issues such as grief, trauma, addiction, body image, and life transitions in everyday terms. Sessions aim to be collaborative and goal-focused.
Meghan often blends skills training with emotional processing to help clients respond differently to conflict or overwhelm. She teaches coping tools you can use between sessions and checks in on what does and doesn’t work.
Her background includes work with a broad range of concerns related to parenting, family matters, and identity, and she draws on therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, EMDR, and mindfulness. Meghan explains techniques plainly and helps people try them at their own pace. Meetings are offered through video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy schedules.
The first step is a short intake to match goals and preferences, followed by a plan tailored to each person’s needs.
Online approaches that meet practical family needs
Meghan uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and change day-to-day habits that keep stress and anxiety active. CBT is useful for problems like worry, sleep issues, low mood, and managing reactions to parenting pressures.She also applies emotionally-focused therapy to map out how feelings and interaction patterns affect relationships. EFT helps people identify emotional needs and shift how they connect with others during conflict or distance.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Meghan works together with each person to choose techniques that match goals, comfort level, and life demands. Techniques may be combined or adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. These formats let people fit therapy around school, work, and caregiving responsibilities, and try new skills between meetings. Online options make it easier to keep consistent momentum while juggling a busy family life.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
