About Meghan
Meghan McCloskey is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, mood concerns, anger, and relationship or parenting challenges. Meghan presents therapy as a practical, collaborative process rather than a lecture or quick fix.
She starts by listening to each person's story and strengths. Meghan uses straightforward conversation to help people spot patterns that fuel frustration and resentment. She helps clients set small, manageable goals and track progress between sessions.
Her background includes work with substance concerns, trauma and abuse, compassion fatigue, and young adult issues. She draws on several approaches to match what a client needs, including client-centered techniques and cognitive behavioral ideas that focus on thoughts, feelings, and behavior. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused tools appear when people want concrete steps to change.
In sessions Meghan helps people practice new responses to old triggers. That can mean learning to name emotions before reacting, testing different ways to speak up, or building routines that reduce stress. She also supports work on forgiveness, guilt, and self-esteem when those themes come up.
Clients who choose her can expect a steady, practical style aimed at helping them manage daily challenges. To begin, she asks people to describe current struggles and what a better day would look like. From there she and the client plan what to work on together.
How sessions work
Approaches you may encounter in online sessions
Client-centered therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities. It focuses on listening, reflecting what is said, and helping people notice their own strengths. This approach is helpful when someone wants to be heard and to build confidence in making decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. It breaks problems into manageable parts, so someone can test new behaviors and see what changes. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and clear patterns people want to change.
Motivational interviewing supports people who are unsure or stuck about change. It uses guided conversation to explore values and motivations and to set short, realistic steps toward a goal such as reducing substance use or improving relationship habits.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods based on goals, day-to-day life, and what fits best. That choice can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the formats offered before booking since they are not specified in the profile. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also suit lower-bandwidth connections or times when an audio-only session is preferable to being on camera.
