About Meghan

Meghan Pardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 12 years of clinical experience helping people navigate emotional challenges and life transitions.

Background and approach

She frames therapy as a collaborative process, listening closely and offering practical tools to help clients identify needs, reduce distress, and build more balanced lives. Her background includes work with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, and a broad range of relationship and family concerns.

Meghan draws from a range of evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), EMDR, and mindfulness-based techniques to tailor care to each person’s goals.

She also addresses areas such as parenting and blended family issues, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, body image, cancer-related adjustment, and complications arising from divorce or domestic violence. Based in California, she works in English and focuses on helping motivated individuals process emotions, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful change.

Using Evidence-Based Approaches in Online Care

Meghan commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression and to build practical coping skills. EMDR is used to process traumatic memories and distressing experiences through structured techniques that can reduce the intensity of difficult emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and then tailors a mix of methods to fit the presenting concerns. That shared planning helps ensure therapy aligns with what the client hopes to change and how they prefer to work.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to engage in this work, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around busy schedules, geographic limitations, or varying comfort levels with different communication styles, while still focusing on the same therapeutic aims of symptom relief, emotional processing, and skill development.
