About Meghan
Meghan Murphy is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts with 13 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief. Her practice also addresses parenting concerns, relationship stress, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.
She also focuses on ADHD, issues related to autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family problems, caregiver stress, fertility and postpartum concerns, and pregnancy and childbirth. Meghan supports people navigating social anxiety, body image struggles, and young adult transitions. She includes LGBT and women's issues among her areas of work.
Her approach centers on practical, evidence-based methods. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She adapts what they do together to each person's situation instead of applying one method to everyone.
Meghan emphasizes listening first, then planning next steps people can try between sessions. She helps clients break down problems into manageable steps and develop coping strategies they can use at home. Progress is tracked through regular check-ins and adjusting plans as needed.
For people coming from a place of parenting strain or family tension, her work often focuses on improving day-to-day routines, reducing reactivity, and building clearer communication. Starting therapy begins with completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
Evidence-based approaches and online support
Meghan works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and problem solving. One common approach teaches concrete coping strategies for anxiety and stress, such as pacing exposure to difficult situations and practicing calming routines. These techniques aim to reduce immediate distress and build confidence in handling daily triggers.Another approach emphasizes processing and integration after trauma or loss, using structured conversations to make sense of what happened and reduce its ongoing emotional hold. This can help people who are dealing with grief, post-traumatic stress, or the fallout from abuse to regain steadier functioning.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Meghan will collaborate with each person to identify which techniques fit their goals, current pressures, and preferences. She adjusts the plan over time based on what helps most and what feels manageable.
