About Meghan

Meghan McCloskey is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida with 12 years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, substance and behavioral addictions, relationship and parenting difficulties, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses trauma and abuse, grief, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and life transitions. Meghan draws from evidence-informed approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), client-centered techniques, motivational interviewing, narrative methods, and solution-focused strategies.

She centers the individual's strengths and personal story, viewing each person as the expert on their own life while offering collaborative guidance and practical tools. Her practice attends to issues like control problems, drug and alcohol addiction, infidelity, guilt and shame, forgiveness, and matters related to women's wellbeing and young adults.

Clients seeking flexible online options can access sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Meghan emphasizes respect, steady support, and partnership as people work toward clearer goals, improved coping, and greater self-compassion.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Care

Meghan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques as foundational tools in her online practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping, while client-centered therapy emphasizes empathy, validation, and listening to help clients clarify their goals and tap into their own strengths.

She also incorporates motivational interviewing when readiness for change is uneven, using guided conversation to explore ambivalence and increase motivation for steps like reducing substance use or making relationship changes. These methods are presented collaboratively so the therapist and client can decide together which strategies fit the person's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible and flexible. These options let people maintain continuity of care across schedules and locations, access timely support between appointments, and choose formats that match their comfort level and daily life.
