Meghan Simonett, LMHC - Therapist in New York

About Meghan

Meghan Simonett is a licensed mental health counselor who focuses on practical ways to manage stress and anxiety. She uses clear, down-to-earth language to help people handle relationship strain, family tension, grief, and big life changes. Meghan aims to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can identify what matters and take small, useful steps forward.

She brings nine years of experience as an LMHC to her work in New York.

Background and approach

That background shapes how she blends different techniques to fit each person’s situation. Sessions often involve talking through patterns, trying new responses, and practicing skills between meetings. Meghan commonly addresses communication problems, control issues, and workplace stress.

She also supports people managing body image concerns, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, divorce and separation, and women’s issues. Her approach is straightforward and geared toward everyday life challenges. Her style includes openness and a bit of humor when appropriate.

Meghan tailors methods rather than using one fixed plan. The goal is progress that feels meaningful to the client, not a checklist of techniques. Clients can work with her through a mix of session formats, and she welcomes people from outside the United States as well.

New clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling sessions that fit their timing and needs.

Therapeutic tools and online sessions that fit your life

Meghan commonly draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce stress and anxiety. CBT is useful for day-to-day worries and patterns that get in the way of feeling better.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people clarify personal values and take small committed actions even when emotions are difficult. ACT can be helpful for coping with loss, life transitions, and ongoing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meghan will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then suggest methods that match those needs. The plan is adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy family schedules. Video calls let people see and talk in real time, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide more flexible check-ins. These options make it possible to continue therapy from different locations and at different times, which many people find helpful when balancing work and family life.
