Using practical approaches in online therapy
Megan commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood problems because it breaks issues down into concrete steps and tools.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and relationship effectiveness. DBT techniques help when strong emotions, impulsivity, or intense interpersonal stress get in the way of daily functioning.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time based on what is helping and what feels right for the client.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video is good for visual connection and teaching skills, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat and messaging can support quick check-ins or ongoing reflection between sessions. These options provide flexibility so people can stay consistent with their goals while balancing work, parenting, or school schedules.
