About Meghan

Meghan Flanagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and a range of life transitions.

Background and approach

She draws on several evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existential approaches, and mindfulness to build individualized plans that address concerns such as self-esteem, intimacy-related issues, career challenges, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue.

Additional areas of attention include attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, and issues around control, forgiveness, and isolation. Her collaborative approach emphasizes a warm, genuine presence and unconditional positive regard.

Meghan listens for each person’s story and adapts strategies to fit their goals and circumstances, helping clients explore, challenge, and practice new ways of thinking and coping.

With six years of clinical experience across settings, she aims to create a supportive space where people can take the vulnerable step of seeking help and move toward clearer purpose and improved daily functioning.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Meghan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to help clients address painful thoughts and patterns. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce distress and improve functioning, while mindfulness practices teach present-moment awareness and stress-reduction techniques that can support emotional regulation.

She also draws on Existential Therapy to help clients explore meaning, values, and life direction when facing transition or grief. This approach invites reflection on personal responsibility and purpose, which can be useful for those wrestling with life changes or questions about identity.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works together with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adapting strategies as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and life demands while still allowing therapists and clients to engage in practical skill-building, reflective conversation, and ongoing support.
