About Meg
Meg Gemelli is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) practicing in North Carolina with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationship and family concerns along with grief, intimacy-related issues, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, depression, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
Background and approach
She offers online sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text messaging. Her approach centers on connection and emotional bonding.
She uses emotionally-focused techniques to help partners notice patterns that keep them stuck and to build more responsive ways of relating. That work often brings clearer communication and a greater sense of safety between people.
When meeting with individuals, she blends narrative and solution-focused ideas. That means she helps people tell their story differently, identify strengths, and try small changes that lead to big improvements.
Motivational interviewing shows up when clients want help moving from thinking to action. Meg has worked in many settings including residential treatment, outpatient offices, faith-based environments, hospitals, and schools.
Those varied experiences shape a practical, down-to-earth style that mixes insight with concrete next steps. Sessions aim to be warm and often include moments of humor as well as deeper emotional work.
She views therapy as a collaborative process. Clients set goals and move at a manageable pace while exploring painful memories, relationship patterns, and life transitions.
The result is planning that fits daily life and honors each person’s story.
Emotion-Focused and Narrative Work Online
Meg uses emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to help people and partners notice harmful interaction patterns and strengthen emotional connection. EFT is often used for intimacy and relationship struggles and helps people practice new ways of responding to one another.She also draws from narrative therapy, which helps people reframe and rewrite their life stories so problems feel less defining. Narrative work can be useful for grief, depression, identity concerns, and coaching through major life changes. Motivational interviewing appears when someone wants direct support moving from intention to action and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, values, and pace. That means trying things, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper emotional work and seeing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a check-in fits a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, and support between longer sessions.
