Professional statement

Meghan Ghidinelli provides Telehealth therapy to adults living in Rhode Island and Oregon. She is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Professional Counselor in each state respectively. Her areas of expertise include treatment for depression, anxiety, addiction, chronic pain, and issues of young adulthood. She is especially well suited to working with clients around complex issues, as she is skilled in assisting people to identify common themes, relevant strengths, and clear goals for moving forward. Through a gentle, collaborative therapeutic process she supports clients in implementing changes that are tangible in the here and now, allowing clients to embody who they want to be.

Meghan's therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and shifting unhelpful patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to reduce negative symptoms and improve quality of life. A firm believer in tailoring her approach to each individual, she also incorporates additional modalities as needed in order to best serve her clients. These methods include helping people to explore the role of story in shaping their sense of self, identifying what is already working as an alternative path to finding solutions, and exploring mixed emotions and feelings of uncertainty around enacting change.

Meghan’s therapeutic style is relaxed, warm, open, and direct. She views the therapeutic relationship as a sacred bond between teammates working toward shared goals. Through building a foundation of trust and safety, hope for positive shifts becomes possible. Client empowerment and relational connection combine to create the magic of healing.


Message to clients

Welcome! Congratulations on taking the first step toward exploring something new. As humans, we tend to have mixed feelings about change, often wanting to continue down the same path even when it is no longer feeling right for us. As you read this today I invite you to consider the possibility that together, in therapy, we can help you navigate this process. My hope is to serve as your guide as you explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and being, through the safety of connection, empathy, and non-judgement.
