Meghan Perez, LCSW

Meghan Perez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting people through depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief, and a wide range of life shifts. She earned both a Bachelor of Social Work and a Master of Social Work with a specialty in mental health, and completed two years of supervised clinical training before practicing independently. She holds clinical licensure across multiple states and brings that training into each therapeutic relationship.

Meghan works with clients facing many concerns - from body image and intimacy-related issues to addiction, trauma, caregiver stress, and career transitions. She emphasizes practical, compassionate care and makes space for complex experiences like adoption and foster care, aging concerns, chronic illness, and kink-aware therapy. Her style is direct, honest, and heartfelt; she asks clients to show up for themselves while offering steady encouragement and celebration of small steps.

Clinically, Meghan draws on multiple approaches rather than a single technique. She uses elements of cognitive behavioral therapy alongside narrative methods, motivational interviewing, and psychodynamic ideas to tailor work to each person. She will not hand a client a book to finish, but she will offer guidance, challenge when needed, and follow the client’s lead with a strong, supportive hand. She invites prospective clients to try a few sessions and see how the work fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Meghan Perez integrates cognitive behavioral therapy and narrative therapy alongside motivational interviewing to meet people where they are. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical strategies to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Narrative therapy centers on the stories people tell about their lives and helps separate a person from their problems so they can re-author their experiences and values. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative, strengths-based method that helps people explore ambivalence and find internal motivation for change, which is useful for addiction, lifestyle shifts, and commitment to new goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Meghan works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques rather than adhering strictly to one model, and she guides clients while following their lead.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - which can make it easier to schedule sessions around work, caregiving, or health concerns. These options allow licensed professionals to provide ongoing support in a format that suits each client’s life and learning style.
