Evidence-based approaches and online therapy options

Meagen commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety. She also combines other evidence-based techniques when they fit a person’s needs, using brief skill-building exercises to address stress, emotional regulation, and relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust them as therapy progresses.
