About Meghan

Meghan Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience supporting people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, and compassion fatigue.

Background and approach

She draws on a mix of therapeutic methods to help clients navigate life changes, manage mood differences such as bipolar concerns, and address body image, sexual expression, and identity-related issues. Meghan also works with issues related to caregiving, chronic illness, eating and food-related problems, and the complexities of adoption and foster care.

Her approach blends practical, evidence-informed tools with a warm, straightforward presence. Meghan often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques alongside motivational interviewing and narrative and psychodynamic ideas to tailor sessions to each person’s needs.

She describes her style as direct, honest, and heartfelt, emphasizing small steps, mutual respect, and active participation in the work. Licensed in multiple states, Meghan offers help from Texas and communicates in English.

She invites people to try therapy as an experiment in healing, promising a steady, guiding presence rather than quick fixes or guarantees.

Practical Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Meghan frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and develop actionable strategies for changing behaviors and moods. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, offering an empathic, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace of work and personal goals take center stage. Motivational Interviewing appears in her work to help people explore ambivalence and build internal motivation for change, especially around behavioral shifts and recovery-related goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Meghan collaborates with each person to find what fits best. She combines methods rather than relying on a single model, adjusting techniques as goals evolve and encouraging clients to be active participants in deciding next steps.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent support without commuting.
