About Meekah

Meekah Reeves, LCSW, offers a warm, faith-informed approach for people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and major life changes. She mentions faith and scripture as tools she may use when clients find them helpful, and she speaks from personal experience with anxiety and recovery. Her style is encouraging and focused on individual strengths. Meekah brings 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New York. She trained at Columbia University where she earned her Master’s degree in 2008. Her background includes hospital work in New York City and additional qualifications such as birth doula certification and Lamaze training. Sessions tend to center on what the client wants to change. She uses an interpersonal, strength-focused stance to help people process caregiver strain, depression, self-esteem concerns, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods are part of her work when helpful for thinking and behavior changes. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set practical goals and track small steps forward. When faith is meaningful to a client, Meekah may include prayer or scripture as supportive material. That element is offered only when clients welcome it. Outside of practice she enjoys travel, singing, cooking, and time with family and friends. Meekah aims to partner with people who want steady, compassionate support while working through challenges and building coping skills.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person’s strengths to help them move forward. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, caregiver stress, and the emotional fallout from life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety and depression; it often includes practical exercises and homework to try between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy narrows in on small, concrete goals and the next steps to reach them. It works well when someone wants quick, doable changes and a clear plan to follow. Meekah uses these approaches flexibly and tailors them to each person’s situation and priorities.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels helpful, then try methods that fit. That collaboration guides whether the focus is skills-building, belief work, or short-term goal planning.

Session options are not listed here, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, save commute time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people join from different locations, which helps when juggling work, travel, or caregiving responsibilities.
