About Meghan
Meghan Carroll is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Alabama with eight years of practice. She lists stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationships, parenting, and self-esteem among her main focus areas. She also works with mood disorders and postpartum challenges.
She draws on practical, goal-oriented methods so conversations lead to clearer next steps. Sessions focus on what is happening now and what a person can try between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools are used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioral changes. Solution-Focused work helps set short-term goals and notice what is already working.
Meghan has experience in residential psychiatric treatment, in-home therapy, office-based work, and telehealth. That variety shaped how she adjusts methods to fit different life situations. She has worked with adults, older adults, adolescents, couples, and families in those settings.
When trauma and grief are present, she integrates trauma-focused approaches to address painful memories and their effects on daily life. For parents and caregivers she pays attention to caregiver stress, attachment concerns, and the specific challenges that follow pregnancy and childbirth. Practical coping strategies and mood support are common parts of sessions.
Her style is strengths-based and solution-focused while also using cognitive and trauma-informed techniques when needed. People can expect direct, short-term goals alongside space to talk through difficult feelings. To begin, clients complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Meghan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns in thinking and try small behavior changes that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. CBT sessions often include practical exercises and brief homework to test new ways of responding.She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set specific short-term goals and notice existing strengths. That approach keeps sessions practical and oriented toward small, achievable steps that fit into daily life.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, what has or hasn't worked before, and which methods feel most useful. Plans are adjusted over time based on progress and preference.
Confirm current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around parenting, work, and caregiving responsibilities. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or allow work that doesn't require being on camera. Licensed professionals can use these formats to support steady progress while keeping sessions practical and focused on daily challenges.
