About Megan

Megan Kooyman is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California with six years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and major life changes. Megan aims to make beginning therapy as straightforward as possible for worried parents and busy adults.

She creates an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and grounded, with attention to everyday problems like communication breakdowns and caregiver stress. Megan often centers work on attachment patterns, family of origin concerns, and healing from post-traumatic stress. Sessions look at what is happening now and how past experiences shape current reactions.

She helps people who feel isolated or overwhelmed reconnect with values like self-love and purpose. Work also addresses guilt, shame, and the strain that comes with caregiving. Megan supports women and young adults navigating transitions and identity questions, and she helps people improve how they communicate with family members.

Her approach aims to turn small changes into lasting improvements in daily life. Therapy with Megan moves at a pace the client sets, with a focus on practical tools and clearer understanding. She encourages realistic steps that fit a family's schedule and each person’s responsibilities.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Megan lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day problems and patterns from the past. One common approach helps people identify how attachment patterns shape relationships and responses to stress; it aims to improve communication and emotional connection. Another approach focuses on trauma-informed strategies that help process painful memories and reduce how much they interfere with daily life.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Megan will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be useful for short check-ins or when people prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to work on problems without long commutes.
