Meghan Simonett, LMHC

Meghan Simonett is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who supports people navigating stress, anxiety, major life transitions, relationship and family challenges, trauma, and the grieving process. She blends practical, evidence-based methods with a warm, approachable manner, helping clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and build skills to move forward.

Her work draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing, tailoring each approach to the individual’s needs and goals. Meghan emphasizes openness and uses gentle humor to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere where clients can explore emotions, make meaningful changes, and develop clearer communication strategies. She also addresses concerns such as body image, control struggles, communication difficulties, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, post-traumatic stress, women’s issues, and workplace challenges. Meghan aims to meet clients where they are and collaborate on practical, sustainable steps toward improved well-being.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Accessible Online Support

The practice commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and often useful for anxiety, stress, and workplace or relationship patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is offered to help people clarify values, accept difficult emotions, and commit to meaningful action even when situations feel challenging. Motivational Interviewing is also incorporated when clients are exploring change and need collaborative support to strengthen motivation and resolve ambivalence.

Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Meghan works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they evaluate progress and adjust techniques to ensure a good fit.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for those living outside traditional commuting distance. These formats make it easier to access consistent care, maintain momentum between sessions, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists trained in evidence-based techniques.
