Megan brings ten years of clinical experience from both outpatient and inpatient settings. She centers the counseling relationship and listens first to understand each person’s needs.
How Megan works
Her style is direct and respectful, focusing on what matters to the individual rather than on jargon or labels. She often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person’s lead and to offer genuine, nonjudgmental support. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people see how thinking patterns influence feelings and behavior, and to practice different ways of responding.
Mindfulness and motivational techniques are mixed in when they fit the goals at hand. Megan prefers a holistic view of recovery that includes practical skills and small changes that build hope over time. Sessions typically involve talking through current struggles, trying new coping strategies, and reviewing what worked between meetings.
She aims to help each person move toward clearer priorities and steadier mood. People who choose Megan should expect a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. She listens closely, suggests concrete tools, and works alongside clients as they test new ways of managing stress and finding meaning.

Online support options
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, being genuine, and following the person’s priorities. Online sessions using this approach allow the therapist to mirror concerns, reflect feelings, and help the client set the agenda for each meeting. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. In an online setting CBT can include worksheets, homework, and step-by-step practice between sessions to notice results and adjust strategies.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work together with the client to decide which methods best fit their goals, values, and daily life. That collaborative decision can change over time as needs shift, and techniques from different approaches can be combined to suit each person.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill practice, phone sessions can be lower-bandwidth and easier during a busy day, and live chat or messaging are helpful for short check-ins or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy into work, childcare, or travel schedules while still working with a licensed professional.
