About Meghan

Meghan Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people working through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and struggles around identity and intimacy. Meghan names money and financial issues among the areas she supports. Her style is direct, honest, and warm, and she asks clients to show up ready to try small changes.

She trained in social work, earning both a Bachelor’s and a Master’s degree in Social Work with a mental health focus. After graduate school she completed two years of supervised clinical mental health training before practicing independently as an LCSW. Her licenses include LCSW in California and Oregon as well as Texas, reflecting a decade of steady clinical work.

In session she combines practical tools with listening and reflection. She uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on thoughts and behaviors and brings in Motivational Interviewing to encourage change. Meghan also draws on narrative and psychodynamic ideas to look at life stories and patterns that shape feelings and choices.

She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where small steps are noticed. Her approach is collaborative - she follows the client’s lead while offering a guiding hand. Meghan is straightforward about expectations and celebrates progress, even when it feels minor.

People looking for help with addiction struggles, caregiving stress, body image, chronic illness, or complex grief will find a therapist who listens and works practically. Sessions focus on what a person needs now and on building doable next steps.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and putting the client's goals first. It helps people who need a supportive space to talk through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy targets the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meghan works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs and goals. She may blend techniques and checks in with clients about what helps and what feels off, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the therapist's biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from different locations. It also supports shorter check-ins or phone or video choices when people need a lower-bandwidth or less camera-focused option. Licensed professionals can use these flexible arrangements to focus on practical skills, thought work, and motivation so clients can apply changes between sessions.
