About Megan
Megan Curtis is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in California who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. She works in a direct, person-centered way and aims to meet people where they are. Megan talks with each person to understand their needs and goals before shaping a plan together.
Megan's training began with undergraduate studies in personality psychology, biopsychology, and human sexuality.
Background and approach
She continued with graduate coursework focused on clinical mental health counseling and neuropsychology, which inform her clinical perspective. Her background gives her tools to explain how thoughts, feelings, and brain processes interact. In sessions she emphasizes straightforward psychoeducation and practical skills.
She helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, practice new coping strategies, and build routines that reduce stress and panic. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on small, manageable steps. Megan pays attention to everyday challenges such as communication problems, control issues, panic attacks, social anxiety, and concerns around pregnancy and childbirth.
She also offers support for women's issues and for people working through grief or relationship strain. Megan uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person's situation. She will discuss options and adjust methods as therapy progresses.
Sessions are offered in English and delivered through several online formats to fit different schedules.
Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Two common approaches she uses are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and psychoeducation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change the behaviors that reinforce them, which can reduce panic, social anxiety, and ongoing worry. Psychoeducation means explaining how stress, emotions, and thinking patterns interact so people can make informed choices about coping and routines.Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Megan talks with each person about their goals and preferences and adapts techniques as progress is made. She encourages trial and adjustment so the method fits the person's life and needs rather than remaining fixed on a single technique.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people send quick updates, ask questions between sessions, or use shorter, focused check-ins when a full session isn’t possible. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied routines.
