Evidence-based approaches for online therapy and coaching
Megan uses evidence-based techniques that translate well to remote sessions. She focuses on brief, practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety that help reduce immediate symptoms and build daily coping habits. These methods teach breathing, grounding, and pacing skills to lessen overwhelm and restore balance.She also applies coaching-style goal setting to increase motivation and confidence. This approach breaks larger aims into small, trackable steps and uses regular check-ins to keep progress on track. It works well for people who want clear action plans and accountability alongside emotional work.
Finding the right mix of therapy and coaching is collaborative. Megan will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked or not worked before. Together they tailor the approach and adjust it over time to fit changing needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skills practice, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and messaging suit short check-ins, homework support, or quick coaching prompts. These options offer flexibility for scheduling and for fitting sessions into a busy life.
