About Meagan
Meagan Licata is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a blend of approaches to help people feel steadier in daily life. She focuses on practical tools for stress, anxiety, sleep problems, self-esteem, depression, and ADHD. Meagan works from New York and holds the LMHC credential.
She often combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with acceptance and mindfulness strategies. That means sessions include skill practice, noticing unhelpful thoughts, and learning to respond differently to hard emotions.
How Meagan works
Meagan also draws on client-centered and dialectical ideas to keep the work grounded and real. Clients can expect a collaborative style that emphasizes small, doable steps. Conversations are intended to identify patterns that get in the way and to try simple strategies between sessions.
Meagan pays attention to the whole person, including issues like body image, chronic pain or illness, and feelings of isolation. She brings four years of direct counseling experience and earlier roles in mental health that shaped her approach. Meagan aims to build trust early and to create a calm space for honest talk.
Progress is usually paced to match what a person can handle day to day. Practical goals often include better sleep routines, reduced worry, clearer communication, and stronger self-compassion. The work also covers concerns such as sexuality, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose.
Meagan welcomes conversations about what matters most and how to move forward together.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Meagan often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to clarify values that guide daily choices. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is also a core part of her work, focused on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing specific skills to change behavior and mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Meagan will work together with each person to figure out which methods fit best for their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions begin with practical goals and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work consistently.
