Megan uses a person-centered approach that emphasizes each person's strengths. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals they can actually use between sessions.
Background and approach
She keeps language plain and gives concrete tools rather than abstract theory. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That means she helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice emotion regulation skills, and stay motivated to change.
Megan adapts techniques to fit a client's day-to-day life and routines. Work with her often includes skill-building for focus and self-regulation for people with ADHD, practical steps to reduce anxiety, and support for identity-related concerns. Sessions may include short skill drills, thought records, or mindfulness exercises tailored to individual needs.
With five years of clinical experience, Megan aims to be a steady, nonjudgmental guide. She helps people break big problems into small steps and celebrates progress along the way. The focus is on usable strategies that make daily life easier.
Online approaches that focus on skills and goals
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building on a person's strengths to meet goals; it helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady, supportive space to try new strategies. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, and many everyday worries. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions and improving relationships, including techniques for emotional regulation and distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then try methods that fit. Decisions about which tools to use are made together and adjusted over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let conversations feel like an in-person visit and work well for longer sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are handy for brief check-ins, homework support, or scheduling around a busy day. These options make it easier to use therapy consistently and to practice new skills in real life.
