About Meagan
Dr. Meagan Arrastia-Chisholm is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Georgia with three years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes. Meagan also addresses attachment issues, body image, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, post-traumatic stress, and self-love.
Her sessions focus on practical steps people can take to manage hard feelings. She helps clients name emotions, notice patterns, and practice new ways of responding to old triggers. Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client’s needs so difficult topics can be addressed without being rushed.
Meagan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation. She collaborates with clients to develop skills for managing anxiety, processing traumatic memories, and shifting negative self-beliefs. The emphasis is on small, concrete changes that add up over time.
She pays particular attention to guilt and shame and how these feelings show up after family wounds, relationship problems, or personal mistakes. Work in therapy often includes looking at where those feelings came from and testing out kinder, more realistic ways of thinking about oneself.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. Meagan practices in Georgia and offers services in English for people who live in the United States.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online work
Dr. Meagan Arrastia-Chisholm draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma and self-esteem concerns. One common approach she uses focuses on processing traumatic memories in manageable steps so reactions calm and daily functioning improves. Another approach centers on teaching concrete skills for anxiety and shame, such as noticing thought patterns, practicing alternative responses, and building small behavioral experiments to test new beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will review symptoms, goals, and preferences with each person and decide together which techniques to try first. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so methods match the client’s needs rather than a fixed protocol.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions help them fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins during a workday, and reduce travel time. Others choose in-person care if available locally. Discussing practical preferences and constraints early makes it easier to set up sessions that actually fit into everyday life.
