Meghan Flanagan , LPC

Meghan Flanagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, grief, and life changes. She supports concerns around identity and LGBT issues, intimacy and self-esteem, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Meghan also addresses chronic illness, caregiver strain, and issues tied to attachment and abandonment.

Her approach feels straightforward and warm. She aims to create a calm space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and understanding patterns that keep problems repeated.

Meghan uses several therapeutic methods to fit each person. She draws from cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thought patterns. She also uses mindfulness to build awareness and narrative work to help people reframe their stories.

In session she listens closely, asks clear questions, and helps set small, manageable goals. Plans are adjusted over time so work stays relevant to current needs. She emphasizes realistic skills you can try between meetings.

Meghan trained and worked in a range of settings including psychiatric hospitals, outpatient centers, crisis services, and private practice. She has six years of clinical experience. She practices from Wisconsin and offers services in English, including to clients outside the United States.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Meghan uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, and problems that repeat because of automatic thoughts. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help with stress and emotional ups and downs.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meghan meets clients where they are and tests methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. She will help choose or blend approaches based on what is most helpful for symptoms, life context, and what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people talk face to face and use visual cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier when you want a check-in without video. Live chat or text messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when writing out thoughts feels clearer. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy or changing routines.
