About Megan
Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 18 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. She is based in Connecticut and offers practical support for problems like panic attacks, sleep struggles, caregiver stress, and changes tied to aging or health conditions.
Megan's background includes work across health care settings and social services, which shaped a flexible, down-to-earth style. She approaches sessions with attention to each person's story and practical needs.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what matters now and on small steps that make daily life easier. Her sessions are client-centered and often goal-oriented. She uses solution-focused methods to help people identify immediate next steps and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address upsetting thoughts and behaviors.
Motivational Interviewing and Internal Family Systems are also part of her toolkit when exploring motivation and inner parts that affect choices. Megan works with issues such as addictions, postpartum mood concerns, chronic illness, and end-of-life stress. She also supports people coping with adoption and foster care questions, fertility challenges, body image, and feeling isolated.
Career strain, relationship tensions, and finding life purpose are common topics she helps sort through. Her tone in sessions is warm and nonjudgmental. She aims to build practical plans with clear goals and to help people feel more able to cope between visits.
For many, the work is simple and steady problem-solving paired with real listening.
How Megan’s Approaches Translate to Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's priorities. It helps when someone needs a calm space to name what matters and to set personal goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that match those goals. Over a few sessions they will adjust the plan based on what feels most useful and realistic for the person.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for a more traditional face-to-face feel. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or on a short break. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or when writing helps people organize their thoughts. These options make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use therapy around work, caregiving, or medical care.
