About Megan
Megan Shea is an AASW social worker who helps people facing anxiety, stress, relationship problems and major life changes. She supports adults dealing with trauma, depression, bipolar mood challenges and intimacy or self-esteem concerns. Megan focuses on practical steps that make daily life feel more manageable and meaningful.
Her sessions are collaborative and direct. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and offers ways to try new responses. Conversations aim to increase clarity and help clients make choices with more confidence.
Background and approach
Megan blends evidence-informed approaches with mindfulness and body-oriented techniques. That mix allows space for understanding feelings and for working with physical reactions to stress or trauma. She uses cognitive strategies to address unhelpful thinking and to build more effective coping skills.
People often come to her when they're at a turning point - moving cities, changing careers, ending relationships, or rethinking identity and purpose. She helps people move from rumination to practical planning and steady action. Sessions can include reflective conversation, skill practice and attention to how the body reacts to difficult emotions.
She has worked in the sector for eight years and brings that experience to each session. Megan offers sessions in English and works with clients in Australia. Her aim is to help people reclaim agency and take clearer steps toward the life they want.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early connections shape current relationships and helps people notice repeating patterns in close bonds. It can be useful for attachment issues, commitment worries and intimacy-related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical skills to change unhelpful reactions. It is often used for anxiety, stress and mood symptoms to build measurable coping tools. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and gentle acceptance of feeling states, which supports emotion regulation and reduces rumination.Megan treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences and responses to different methods, then adapt techniques to what feels most helpful. Clients and therapist work together to test and refine what fits best over time.
Online therapy allows flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversational work and skills practice, phone sessions can be clearer when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit brief check-ins or in-the-moment coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, and they provide different pathways to progress without needing to travel.
