About Megan
Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 18 years of experience. She draws on a broad background in social work to help people who are overwhelmed, grieving, or facing major life changes. Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth, aimed at making therapy feel useful from the start.
She has worked in settings that include hospital care and support for chronic illness, and she brings that experience to conversations about caregiving, end-of-life concerns, and medical stress.
How Megan works
Megan also supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, addictions, sleep problems, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She pays attention to practical needs as well as emotional ones. Megan uses a flexible, client-centered style.
She often focuses on small, achievable goals so clients can see progress. That can include solution-focused techniques and cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Sessions are collaborative.
She listens first, then helps craft a plan shaped around a person’s priorities and resources. Coaching and coping strategies are offered alongside therapeutic work to help people manage day-to-day stressors and bigger transitions. Megan places emphasis on kindness and respect.
She aims to create a space where people feel heard and not judged as they work through grief, relationship strain, caregiver stress, fertility or family-related adoption and foster care concerns. Her work includes support for loneliness, life purpose questions, postpartum mood concerns, panic, and trauma-related symptoms.

How Megan’s Approaches Work Online
Megan uses client-centered therapy to focus on each person’s experience and priorities. This approach centers conversations on what matters most to the person and shapes goals around their values and strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try options that fit your needs and preferences. Plans are adjusted as you go so sessions feel relevant and helpful rather than prescriptive.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to have regular face-to-face conversations without travel. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins, written reflections, or flexible communication between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to continue care from different locations.
