Background and approach

In sessions she focuses on what is happening now and on small changes that reduce distress. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques to help people notice thought patterns and try different behaviors. This approach can be useful for panic, social anxiety, worry, and low mood.

She also helps with life transitions such as divorce or midlife questions, and with issues like body image, money stress, guilt, and workplace pressures. Conversations are straightforward and aimed at helping people gain more control over daily struggles. Megan creates an open space where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without judgment.

She works collaboratively to set goals and tries to keep sessions focused and practical. If it feels hard to begin, she acknowledges that step and helps people move forward at a pace that fits their life.

Approaches Megan names

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist lists and does not check training records.

Online support

CBT and practical approaches for online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and low mood. It focuses on short-term, skill-based work such as breathing practices, thought records, and behavior experiments that can change day-to-day reactions. Megan approaches sessions in a collaborative way. She works with each person to figure out which methods feel most useful for their situation and adjusts the plan based on goals and life demands. Finding the right fit is part of the therapy process and happens together over time. Online therapy offers flexibility for many routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging are available for shorter check-ins, quick skill practice, or support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep momentum and use therapy in a way that fits daily life.
