About Meghan

Meghan Gallagher is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in New York who supports people managing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting concerns, anger, career questions, coaching needs, and ADHD.

Background and approach

She also attends to related issues such as mood disorders, panic attacks, obsessive-compulsive concerns, impulsivity, isolation and life purpose, as well as specialized areas like hospice and end-of-life counseling and perinatal mental health. With ten years of clinical experience, Meghan emphasizes a collaborative and strengths-based approach, inviting clients to explore thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She focuses on helping people build on what is already working in their lives while developing practical tools for coping, decision-making, and emotional regulation. Her practice centers on supporting clients through difficult transitions and encouraging the courage it takes to pursue meaningful change.

Clients can expect a compassionate, empowering partnership that prioritizes openness and practical progress. Meghan frames therapy as a process of discovering and applying strengths so daily life becomes more manageable and satisfying.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Meghan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional insight. One common approach emphasizes building coping and regulation skills to address stress, anxiety, panic, and mood-related concerns by teaching strategies for managing intense emotions and reducing avoidance. Another approach centers on processing difficult experiences such as trauma, grief, or relationship strain by helping clients make sense of their reactions and gradually re-engage with meaningful activities.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Meghan works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, and then she adapts methods over time so therapy stays aligned with changing needs and progress. This shared planning helps ensure techniques fit the individual rather than imposing a single method.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access care around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These formats let clients maintain continuity of support, try different communication styles, and fit sessions into a busy life while working with licensed professionals to address stress, ADHD-related difficulties, mood concerns, and other challenges.
