About Meghan

Meghan Murphy is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) based in Massachusetts with 13 years of professional experience. She works with people who are coping with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief, and other related concerns. Her profile lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas. She speaks English and practices within Massachusetts.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address day-to-day problems and longer-standing difficulties.

She also supports those facing fertility, pregnancy and childbirth related concerns, postpartum depression, and body image struggles.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques typically include skill-focused methods that teach strategies for managing anxiety and stress. These approaches often break down overwhelming situations into smaller steps and teach breathing, grounding, and behavioral skills that can reduce the intensity of anxious feelings and improve daily functioning.

Trauma-informed approaches focus on recognizing the impact of past harm and helping people regain a sense of control. These methods use careful pacing, stabilization strategies, and practical coping tools to address trauma-related symptoms and supports for grief and loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process may involve trying different methods and adjusting the plan over time so the work is useful and manageable.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know how she conducts appointments. If you want therapy to fit everyday life, online sessions can reduce travel time, make it easier to fit a session into a break, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about scheduling, session length, and any practical considerations when you complete the matching questionnaire.
