Background and approach

Megan draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and connect to their values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practice new behaviors. Mindfulness practices are woven in to help with stress regulation and grounding.

With seven years of clinical experience, Megan has worked in settings that shaped her collaborative style. She believes people are the experts in their own lives and builds on what already works for each person. Her approach is practical, compassionate, and paced to each individual's needs.

Sessions are offered using formats that fit modern life, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. Megan is licensed in New York as an LCSW and conducts work in English for people located in that state.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Megan uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and slow down before reacting, so they can act in ways that match their values. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try new behaviors that reduce distress. Mindfulness practices are added to support stress regulation and present-moment focus.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, try approaches, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. The process is gradual and shaped by the client's needs, preferences, and pace.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy fit real life. Video lets people talk face to face when schedules allow. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, or when someone prefers written communication. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent.
