Meghan Simonett , LMHC

Meghan Simonett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and major life changes. She practices in New York and brings nine years of clinical experience to sessions.

She focuses on women's issues alongside concerns such as body image, workplace stress, communication problems, and control issues. Meghan also supports people coping with divorce or separation, post-traumatic stress, and feelings of guilt or shame.

Meghan uses clear, practical techniques drawn from evidence-based therapies to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions aim to feel collaborative and down-to-earth, with room for straightforward talk and occasional humor. Clients work on small, doable steps between sessions to build skills and confidence.

Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. People can expect a mix of short-term problem solving and longer-term work on values and meaning. Meghan tailors her approach to each person's goals and pace.

She offers online formats that fit busy lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and schedules according to her availability.

How evidence-based techniques work online

Meghan uses practical, research-supported approaches to help people change patterns that cause distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying new behaviors to reduce anxiety and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps clarify what matters most and guides people to take committed action toward those values despite difficult feelings.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. From there she adapts techniques and pacing so the work fits the person rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls bring face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits the day. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for ongoing support and brief moments of problem solving between scheduled meetings, making care more flexible and easier to fit into varied routines.
