About Meghan
Meghan Murphy is a LICSW (Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker) practicing in Massachusetts with 13 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and related challenges. Meghan also lists ADHD, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and blended family issues among her areas of focus.
She talks plainly about what brings people in and works alongside them to clarify immediate goals. Sessions are practical and problem-focused. Conversations often center on managing feelings, repairing patterns that cause conflict, and finding clearer ways to handle everyday demands.
Meghan draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address grief, trauma reactions, anxiety, and anger. She supports people dealing with burnout and compassion fatigue, and those adjusting to life changes such as parenthood, postpartum challenges, fertility struggles, or a new blended household. She also notes experience with autism and Asperger Syndrome and body image concerns.
In sessions Meghan helps people map out small steps and test changes between meetings. She assists with communication skills, coping strategies, and planning around parenting responsibilities without giving legal or custody advice. The focus is on concrete tools that fit daily life.
Her approach adapts as needs evolve. Early sessions tend to clarify what’s most urgent. Later work often moves into practice and rehearsal of new habits, with follow-up to see what helps and what needs adjusting.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Meghan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common issues like anxiety, grief, and trauma. One approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching breathing, grounding, and problem-solving tools to reduce intense feelings and improve daily functioning. Another approach emphasizes processing difficult events and memories by helping people make sense of what happened and reduce the ways those memories interfere with current life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Meghan will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try methods that match those goals. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so sessions stay relevant to family routines and personal schedules.

That said, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow for more frequent check-ins when useful. It also offers flexibility for quieter conversations, camera-free check-ins, or brief sessions that fit a lunch break or a gap between errands. Licensed professionals can adapt session length and focus to better match day-to-day life.
