How Megan’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on identifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and guiding purposeful action.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy teaches people to notice thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and then practice small changes. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, social fears, and workplace stress because it gives concrete tools for daily use.
Megan uses a collaborative process to find the best fit. She will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, try approaches out, and adjust the plan as needed. Choosing the right method is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls work well for full sessions and face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter, ongoing support between longer sessions and can fit into busy days. These options help people make therapy part of their routine.
