Meghan Carroll, LCSW, LICSW

Meghan Carroll is a licensed clinical social worker who centers her work on clear, practical strategies. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy and elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people manage stress and anxiety. Meghan brings eight years of social work experience and practices from Alabama, working on scheduling in Central Time.

She begins by building a strong, respectful relationship and meeting people where they are. Sessions focus on immediate concerns and realistic steps clients can try between meetings. Meghan draws on solution-focused methods to set short-term goals and on cognitive tools to address unhelpful thinking patterns.

Her background includes work in residential psychiatric treatment, in-home therapy, office-based care, and telehealth services. That range informs how she tailors sessions for different life situations, including parenting, caregiving stress, and mood concerns. She has notable experience with postpartum mood disorders and grief work.

Meghan adapts her style to each person's needs and emphasizes strengths people already have. She also uses trauma-informed practices when past events are part of the problem. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client.

Clients can expect practical tools, focused goals, and space to process emotions. Meghan aims to support people through life changes, relationship strains, and periods of high stress or anxiety.

Approaches for stress and anxiety in online sessions

Meghan uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people set clear, short-term goals and identify small steps that produce change. This approach is practical and forward-looking, which can be useful when stress or anxiety make daily tasks feel overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to notice and change unhelpful thought patterns. CBT helps with anxiety, low mood, and coping with life changes by teaching specific techniques people can practice between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meghan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what is most helpful and what a person wants to focus on.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since options can change. The therapist's background includes delivering care via telehealth, which can make scheduling easier and reduce travel time. Online sessions can fit into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to keep consistent appointments during life transitions.
