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.
