Meet Dr. Meagan Daley, Ph.D. – Psychologist Offering Virtual Therapy Across Ontario
If you’re feeling burned out, lost, depressed, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply exhausted by life’s many demands, you’re not alone—and you don’t need to figure it all out by yourself. As a clinical psychologist with over 30 years of professional experience, I offer warm, thoughtful, evidence-based therapy for adults across Ontario, fully online. My goal is to walk alongside you, at your pace, helping you feel heard, understood, and supported while working toward meaningful change.
How I Can Help
- CBT-I for insomnia (my speciality) – because staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m. is never part of the plan
- Burnout, grief and stress management – especially for caregivers, professionals, and those in transition
- Anxiety and trauma recovery – with sensitivity, structure, and real tools
- Couples therapy – helping people communicate, reconnect, and thrive in their relationships
Clients tell me that working together has helped them:
- Sleep through the night again (finally!)
- Feel more grounded and calm (less stressed and anxious)
- Let go of guilt and chronic self-doubt
- Rebuild connection and trust in their relationships
- Regain clarity, confidence, and energy
My Approach: Gentle, Practical, and Human
I bring a deeply humanistic and compassionate approach to therapy. You are not a diagnosis or a problem to be solved—you are a full, complex human being. I meet you where you are and tailor our work based on your needs, drawing from:
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and CBT-I (CBT treatment tailored to treat insomnia)
- ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy)
- Mindfulness-based strategies, including MBSR (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction)
- Positive psychology and other strength-based methods
I have received extensive training in MBSR through the programs developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn in the U.S., and I’ve led many individuals and groups through practices that reduce suffering and cultivate greater presence, clarity, and inner calm.
Sessions with me are collaborative and respectful, often punctuated with insight, emotional relief, and—on occasion—a knowing smile when humour finds its way in. I strive to create a space that feels safe, sincere, and grounded in mutual trust.
A Life Rich in Experience and Perspective
I am a mother of five and grandmother of two, and I was raised alongside an older brother with profound mental and physical disabilities—an experience that gave me early insight into human vulnerability and resilience. My life and career have not followed a straight line, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. These twists and turns have taught me empathy, adaptability, and the courage to keep learning.
I’m also a trained musician (piano, harpsichord, flute, voice, and djembé), a paddleboarder, a cyclist, a gardener, and a devoted birdwatcher who keeps multiple feeders full year-round—because connection with nature helps me stay grounded and present, qualities I believe I bring into my work with clients.
I have also had the pleasure of being an educator at the college and university level for over 30 years—an experience that has deepened my respect for curiosity, growth, and lifelong learning.
My academic background includes training at some of Canada's most respected universities, where I was fortunate to receive multiple scholarships and awards. While I value this foundation, what truly matters is how I use that knowledge to help people feel better, sleep better, and live with more meaning and connection.
Bilingual Services – Pour les francophones
I offer services fluently in both French and English, and I’m proud to support French-speaking clients who may have struggled to find therapy in their preferred language. Vous serez accueilli avec chaleur, une sensibilité culturelle et une compréhension complète—quelle que soit la langue dans laquelle vous êtes le plus à l'aise.
Let’s Connect
I just retired from my college teaching engagements and so currently have openings for virtual therapy with adults anywhere in Ontario. If you’re looking for a therapist who brings depth, experience, kindness, and a bit of life wisdom to the table, I’d be honoured to meet with you.
