About Megan
Megan Deaver is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She also supports clients navigating LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, and related identity questions.
Megan draws on work she’s done in psychiatric hospitals, intensive outpatient programs, and independent practice. She believes clients know their stories best and brings a down-to-earth, accepting style to sessions.
Background and approach
She mentions being naturally quirky and encourages clients to use their passions and fandoms as sources of strength. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-focused. She listens for what’s working, then helps people build practical steps to feel steadier day to day.
Sessions are geared toward real-life problems and small, doable changes rather than abstract theory. Megan has experience with a range of additional concerns, including autism and Asperger syndrome, family of origin issues, gender dysphoria, intellectual disability, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, pregnancy and childbirth, prejudice and discrimination, self-love, women’s concerns, and issues facing young adults.
That variety informs how she tailors support to each person. She values courage and curiosity in the therapy room. Outside work she enjoys Comicon and Renaissance Festival communities and sees hobbies as helpful parts of healing.
She also notes a Chartered membership with the British Psychological Society for people in Europe and the British Isles seeking counseling.
Approaches that guide online support
Megan uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change and building strengths. She emphasizes approaches that help people manage anxiety and stress through skills practice and step-by-step plans. These methods tend to involve identifying unhelpful patterns and trying small behavioral changes to see what helps.She also works with identity and life-transition concerns by helping people clarify values, process experiences, and build community supports. That approach often includes working on self-acceptance and coping strategies for prejudice or life changes. Sessions frequently draw on clients' interests and passions to create motivating, real-world goals.
Picking the right way to work together is collaborative. The therapist will ask about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they’ll try an approach and adjust it as needed so it fits the person’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and face-to-face connection, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, and live chat or text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around daily life and to keep momentum between meetings.
