Background and approach
Her work combines approaches that look at thoughts, relationships, and present-day habits. Megan uses evidence-based techniques to reduce panic and manage mood shifts. She also guides people through grief, career stress, caregiver strain, and parenting challenges.
In the room she listens first, then helps set clear, realistic goals. Conversations often include practical tools for sleep, coping with overwhelming feelings, and building self-compassion. Homework is simple and tied to daily life so progress is measurable.
Megan describes therapy as a collaboration. She helps people sort priorities, try new behaviors, and tweak strategies that aren't working. The aim is steadier days, fewer crisis moments, and stronger confidence when facing life changes.
Approaches that translate to online sessions
Megan commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and practice different behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, panic, low mood, and sleep problems.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can help with communication problems, caregiver stress, and feelings of isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Megan collaborates with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or managing moments of high anxiety between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain steady contact with a therapist.
