Online support options
Practical approaches you can use online
Megan often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thinking and practice small, measurable changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and day-to-day stress because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills help when emotions feel overwhelming and when relationships or communication need clearer boundaries and tools.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Megan collaborates with each person to decide which methods match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Together they test techniques, track what helps, and adjust the plan as progress happens.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging are useful for quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or shorter skill practice between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep consistent momentum with skill building.
