About
Meredith McQuagge is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families. She works with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, Autism, OCD, ADHD, and addiction, and she has also helped many people navigating the effects of trauma and emotional abuse.
As a combat veteran, military spouse, and Purple Heart recipient, Meredith understands how quickly daily responsibilities and ongoing stress can build into an overwhelming weight. When it feels like others do not fully understand, it is easy to slip into feeling isolated, stuck, or ashamed. She offers a steady place to sort through feeling worn out, mentally drained, on edge, or caught in thought patterns that do not bring relief.
Meredith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a pragmatic, neurodiversity-affirming, and non-judgmental style. She has specialized training in supporting people living with anxiety-related concerns such as social anxiety, panic, phobias, PTSD, OCD, and related challenges. Her approach draws from modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy (C-DBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Inference Based Cognitive Therapy (ICBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Neurodiversity-Affirming Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Strength-Based Therapy, and Trauma Focused Therapy.
She believes clients already have what they need to begin a wellness journey and may simply benefit from guidance to help the pieces work together. Meredith partners with clients to build confidence while supporting authenticity, without masking or hiding who they are.

Meredith McQuagge uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients work through anxiety, stress, relationship strain, trauma-related concerns, and more.One approach she draws from is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which focuses on noticing unhelpful thought patterns, testing them in real life, and building practical coping strategies. CBT can be especially useful when worry, low mood, or self-criticism start to affect daily functioning.
She also incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward what matters most. ACT can support people who feel stuck in avoidance, overwhelm, or ongoing internal tension.
For concerns linked to OCD and anxiety cycles, Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) can be part of treatment. ERP involves gradually facing triggers while practicing new responses, helping reduce the pull of compulsions over time.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. Meredith collaborates with clients to choose methods that align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy makes it easier to stay consistent with support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This flexibility can help clients fit therapy into busy schedules and access care from wherever they are most comfortable.
