Meaghan Campbell

Welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) in Florida, where I have been working professionally since 2014. My expertise has run the gambit from supplemental counseling utilizing animals as therapeutic tools, assessing and psychoeducating individuals involuntarily committed into inpatient facilities, and supporting incarcerated persons in learning to move on from poor decisions. I have worked with those who nearly lost hope in being able to live a gratifying and fulfilled life as a result of being diagnosed with psychiatric disorders, experiencing the negative consequences of impulsive choices, and coping with obstacles beyond their control. I truly believe all life experiences and personal qualities can be used as strengths and gifts, as long as you are viewing them from the right perspective. It is my goal as a counselor to provide the support, education, and confidence necessary in order for my clients to find their “right” perspectives. I tend to primarily operate within the experiential therapeutic modality in my practice; meaning, I subscribe to the belief where the work and growth is most effective when done in the “here and now.” While I employ tools and techniques from a multitude of other psychological models, such as CBT, solution-focused, humanistic, psychodynamic, behavioral, and emotional theories in my craft; I feel sessions are most impactful when my clients are able to experience positive gains in the present moment. Even though I counsel through an experiential lens, I practice with the conviction where the therapeutic relationship is most successful when it is person-centered. This means I meet my client where they are cognitively, emotionally, and in their willingness to change. You are the expert in yourself, and I am the expert in making myself the best “tool” with regard to empowering you to become your “best” self. The counseling field has allowed me to seamlessly merge several of my passions: helping people, learning, and tackling challenges. In order to be the best therapist I am capable of being, I regularly attend classes, read pertinent literature, and network with peers in my field. This allows me to stay up to date on the most current tools, techniques, ethical, and legal guidelines in the therapeutic discipline. In my experience, counseling is most productive when it is being done in a safe and supportive environment. With that in mind, I always encourage my clients to remember these are their sessions, so I welcome all feedback regarding what is and is not helpful to them. While I encourage my clients to remain unguarded and honest in their communication with me, I also urge them to be open-minded to exploring and learning alternative viewpoints. I endorse the belief where human beings are meant to continue growing throughout the entirety of their lives in order to experience all of the benefits their world has to offer. I feel honored when someone trusts me with being able to facilitate them in achieving their goals and creating their desired life. I would feel privileged should you choose me to assist you in doing the same! I am very much excited to start working with you now, and in the future!
