Meagen ShortLPCC

Meagen Short is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) who focuses on practical, evidence-based care. She uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. Meagen speaks both English and Spanish and practices in New Mexico.

She begins by listening closely to what’s most pressing. Sessions look at current patterns and develop simple, doable skills people can use between meetings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to her work, and she blends other evidence-based techniques as needed to match each person’s situation.

Meagen has seven years of counseling experience across private practice, early intervention, behavioral health, and community mental health. That background gives her experience helping with parenting concerns, postpartum depression, grief, trauma, and coping with major life changes. She also supports people facing immigration-related stressors and mood concerns such as bipolar disorder.

In sessions she focuses on practical steps: noticing unhelpful thinking, building routines that support mood, and practicing small behavior changes that add up over time. She encourages straightforward goal setting so progress is measurable and feels real.

People who choose Meagen can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through problems and try out new approaches. She works collaboratively to tailor methods to each person’s needs and goals.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online support

Meagen bases her work on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and other evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going; it can reduce anxiety and depression by teaching practical skills and structured exercises. She also integrates additional evidence-based approaches tailored to each person’s needs, using methods that focus on behavior change and coping skills to address stress, grief, postpartum mood concerns, and trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Meagen will review your goals and preferences and recommend options that fit your situation. This is a cooperative process where adjustments are made as progress is tracked and new needs appear.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. For some people, remote sessions mean they can attend from a quieter location, manage childcare more easily, or avoid disruptions to workday routines. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework for remote meetings so progress continues between sessions.
