Background and approach
Therapy focuses on practical steps people can use between sessions. Sessions often include psychoeducation to explain how thoughts, feelings, and behavior connect. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a commonly used method in her work.
That approach helps people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different, more helpful responses. Megan combines CBT with other evidence-based techniques to meet individual needs. Her background includes undergraduate study in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality, followed by graduate coursework in clinical mental health treatment and neuropsychology.
That mix informs an understanding of how the brain and behavior interact. Megan describes herself as open-minded and collaborative. She aims to build trust and help people set realistic goals.
If a different clinician would be a better fit, she will assist in finding a more appropriate match.
How Megan Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Many of Megan's sessions draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which asks people to notice unhelpful thoughts and try new, practical behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, panic attacks, and stress.She also integrates psychoeducation and techniques from neurobehavioral perspectives. This means explaining how thoughts and brain processes influence actions, then teaching skills to shift patterns that cause distress. Those techniques can be useful for trauma-related symptoms, grief, and managing strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. Megan works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort with different formats. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan together if something isn't a good fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit support into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and to try different formats to see what works best.
