Meghan Flanagan, LPC

Meghan Flanagan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Wisconsin who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, and life changes. She works with issues around self-esteem, intimacy, career stress, and compassion fatigue. People also turn to her for support with LGBT concerns and bipolar-related difficulties. Her approach is warm and straightforward. She creates a calm space where clients can talk through hard experiences and try small, practical steps that make daily life easier. Meghan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness and narrative techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of reacting. Meghan draws on six years of clinical experience across outpatient and crisis settings. She adapts plans to each person’s needs and focuses on short-term goals when helpful. Sessions may include thought records, behavioral experiments, mindful breathing, or rewriting the story someone tells about themselves. She is open to working with people facing caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, attachment and abandonment wounds, communication breakdowns, and the fallout of separation or divorce. Meghan also supports those wrestling with guilt, shame, isolation, or questions about life purpose. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Therapeutic work aims to be collaborative and paced to what the person can manage. The emphasis is on practical change and clearer thinking so everyday routines feel more manageable.

Approaches you can use online

Meghan commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors to see what works better. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, mood shifts, and problems that feel stuck in everyday routines.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce reactivity and help calm strong emotions. Mindfulness can be helpful for coping with chronic pain, grief, or moments of overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Meghan will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals, values, and pace. That decision is collaborative and may change over time as needs shift.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat allow brief check-ins between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel routines while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
