About Meryl

Meryl Galvan is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addictions. Meryl aims to help people find practical skills for coping, calming racing thoughts, and handling life’s painful moments.

She uses clear, direct guidance in sessions and encourages active participation. Meryl blends talk, skill practice, and evidence-informed techniques so clients leave with real tools.

Background and approach

Many people meet with her for help after loss, during major life changes, or when mood and panic symptoms interfere with daily life. Meryl draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). She tailors methods to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a set script.

Sessions often include skill-building, thought work, and focused processing of past hurts. She brings about 12 years of clinical experience working with adults on issues like grief, parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and substance concerns. Meryl has supervised clinical teams in outpatient settings as part of her background, which adds experience in clinical practice and coordination.

Meryl holds a master’s degree in counseling psychology and is licensed as an LMHC in Florida. She offers sessions in English and works with people through a range of online formats and messaging options.

How EMDR, CBT, and Mindfulness work online

EMDR focuses on processing distressing memories and the emotions tied to them. In an online setting this can involve guided attention and structured processing to help reduce the intensity of upsetting recall. Many people use EMDR to address past trauma, grief, and intrusive memories.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, centers on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical exercises. It often includes homework such as tracking thoughts or trying new behaviors, which translates well to video and messaging formats for between-session work.

Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve present-moment awareness. These exercises are easy to practice during phone or video sessions and can be reinforced through short messages or reminders between meetings.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and symptom patterns, then recommend one or a mix of methods and adjust them over time to fit the client's needs.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and deep work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to send updates, ask quick questions, or continue brief therapeutic work between scheduled sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy days and different routines.
