Meghan Perez , LCSW

Meghan Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 10 years of experience supporting people who are navigating mental health diagnoses and life transitions. She completed both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work with a specialty in mental health, followed by two years of supervised clinical mental health training to become a clinical practitioner. The LCSW credential indicates advanced clinical training and the ability to diagnose and treat mental health concerns.

She works with a broad range of issues, including depression and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, addiction, intimacy-related difficulties, and stress related to work and caregiving. Meghan also supports clients with body image and eating issues, chronic illness and pain, codependency, communication and commitment challenges, and concerns common in LGBTQ communities. Her approach recognizes that symptoms often overlap, so treatment is tailored to the whole person rather than a single label.

Meghan’s therapeutic style is direct, honest, and heartfelt. She centers respect and compassion while encouraging clients to take small, meaningful steps toward change. Rather than promising to be the best of the best or selling quick fixes, she offers consistent support and practical guidance.

Clinically, she blends elements from cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to fit each client’s needs. Meghan follows the client’s lead while maintaining a clear, guiding stance, inviting people to try a different way of approaching healing.

Integrating Therapeutic Approaches with Online Care

Meghan uses several evidence-informed methods adapted for online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression and to build practical coping skills. Narrative Therapy helps people reframe and reshape the stories they tell about themselves, which can be useful for issues like identity, trauma, and life transitions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-focused style that helps people clarify their reasons for change and strengthen motivation when facing ambivalence.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Meghan works collaboratively with each person to determine what combination of techniques fits their goals, values, and preferences, adapting methods over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy with Meghan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals while accommodating work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and they allow therapy to continue even when in-person visits are not possible.
