Meghan Pardi, LMFT

Meghan Pardi is a licensed marriage and family therapist with twelve years of experience helping people move toward steadier, more satisfying lives. She focuses on practical steps and clear conversations to help clients figure out what they want and how to get there. Meghan aims to be a steady, compassionate guide during that work.

She uses straightforward talk and evidence-based methods like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful patterns and testing small changes that make daily life easier. Meghan also draws on mindfulness, dialectical behavior tools, and emotionally-focused ideas when helpful.

Clients come for many reasons: relationship and intimacy struggles, parenting pressures, grief, addiction, body image, career transitions, and identity concerns including LGBT issues. She also supports people coping with chronic illness, caregiving stress, adoption and foster care questions, and the effects of family-of-origin problems.

Meghan works with emotions, behavior, and practical problem solving. She helps people manage overwhelm, improve communication, and rebuild confidence after setbacks. EMDR is included among her approaches for processing trauma when appropriate.

Therapy sessions are available in a variety of online formats to fit different schedules and needs. Meghan practices in California as an LMFT and meets people in English. To begin, she encourages a first step of reaching out and sharing what feels most urgent.

How Meghan’s Approaches Work Online

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing small changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood. It is useful for stress, depression, sleep problems, and many daily challenges.

EMDR is a method used to process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact by pairing guided recall with bilateral stimulation. It can help people who are stuck by past events begin to feel more present and less triggered.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. Meghan will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose or combine methods that fit. The plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face work and exercises. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or video is not comfortable. Live chat and text messaging make brief check-ins, skill coaching, and between-session support easy to fit into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep regular work on goals without long commutes or schedule disruptions.
