About Meagen
Meagen Short is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage strong emotions and life stresses. She speaks English and Spanish and offers care from New Mexico. Her style is straightforward and practical, aimed at building skills that make day-to-day life easier.
She often focuses on anger and emotional regulation, along with anxiety and depression. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, postpartum depression, and major life changes.
Background and approach
Parenting concerns, relationship strain, and immigration-related stresses are part of her background too. Meagen typically draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, pairing it with other evidence-based approaches tailored to each person. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try different behaviors, and practice new coping steps.
The work is collaborative and geared toward simple tools people can use right away. Her clinical history includes early intervention, behavioral health, community mental health, and independent practice settings. That range informs how she adapts approaches for different ages and situations.
She has seven years of professional experience since completing her master’s degree in counseling. People who choose her can expect direct feedback, practical homework between sessions, and support in setting small, achievable goals. She aims to create a respectful space where concerns are named, options are tried, and progress is tracked over time.
What Meagen works with
Everything Meagen lists, in the therapist's own terms. Anger is the reason this directory exists; the rest tells you what usually sits alongside it in Meagen's practice.
How therapeutic approaches adapt to online care
Meagen draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that fuel anger and anxiety, then practice new ways of responding. CBT focuses on small, concrete steps such as tracking thoughts, testing alternative responses, and rehearsing coping skills that reduce distress.She also incorporates other evidence-based techniques tailored to individual needs, which can include strategies for emotional regulation and behavioral activation to address low mood. These methods teach specific actions and short exercises that help with mood, motivation, and managing strong feelings.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, preferences, and daily life. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed so the work stays useful and realistic.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is good for in-depth conversations and demonstrations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging supports ongoing skill practice between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, and family commitments.
