Background and approach
Megan commonly uses client-centered and solution-focused methods. She also incorporates cognitive behavioral ideas to help people notice patterns and try small, testable changes. For those affected by past trauma, she draws on trauma-focused tools and EMDR-informed approaches when appropriate.
She has worked in multiple settings, including offices, home visits, and online sessions. That variety shaped a flexible approach to scheduling and to adapting techniques for different situations. Megan emphasizes respect and nonjudgment.
She views therapy as a team effort where the person’s knowledge of their life guides decisions. Her aim is to help people set clear goals, try practical strategies, and track small improvements over time.
How Megan’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s priorities. In online sessions this means the therapist reflects what she hears, asks clarifying questions, and helps clients shape goals that feel relevant to their daily life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, examines thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and low mood going. Online work often includes setting small experiments, tracking moods or thoughts between sessions, and reviewing results together during video or chat exchanges. EMDR-informed and trauma-focused methods help people process memories and reduce the emotional charge of painful events. In remote sessions these approaches are paced carefully and paired with grounding skills to manage strong reactions. Finding the right method is collaborative. Megan will talk with each person about their history, concerns, and how they prefer to work. Together they choose strategies and adjust the plan as progress and preferences become clear. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues and worksheets in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into a busy day or to exchange brief updates between appointments. These options increase flexibility and help people keep continuity of care while managing everyday demands.Questions people ask
