Meghan McCloskey

Meghan McCloskey is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida. She has 12 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, and relationship and parenting strain. Meghan approaches sessions with a practical, down-to-earth style and encourages people to build on their own strengths.

She believes clients are the experts in their own stories. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and on small, doable steps forward. Meghan emphasizes clear goals and real-life strategies rather than lengthy theory discussions.

Her background includes work with mood concerns such as depression and bipolar disorder, and with trauma, grief, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people dealing with anger, control issues, guilt and shame, and challenges around self-love and forgiveness.

Meghan uses a mix of methods to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking. Motivational Interviewing can help when someone is trying to change substance use or other patterns. Client-centered and solution-focused approaches keep the sessions practical and goal-oriented.

Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. Meghan listens, reflects what she hears, and helps people make plans they can use at home. The aim is clearer thinking, better coping, and more satisfying day-to-day choices.

Approaches you can use online and how they help

Meghan draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Client-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to the person, which helps build trust and clarify goals. CBT looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing when people are trying to make a difficult change, such as addressing substance use or building healthier routines. That approach helps people weigh options and find their own motivation rather than pushing advice. Together these methods aim to be collaborative and goal-focused, with the therapist and client deciding what fits best.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meghan will help figure out which methods match a person's needs, goals, and day-to-day life. She adapts sessions to what the client prefers and to what produces helpful progress.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help many people keep therapy consistent while managing work, family, and other responsibilities.
