About Megan
Megan Toy is an AASW social worker with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem, as well as relationship strain and life changes. Her style is relaxed and collaborative, aimed at helping people find practical steps forward.
She believes each person knows their story best and draws on a client's existing strengths. Sessions focus on noticing what matters, building small habits and testing new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and boundary work are woven into conversations to help manage everyday pressure. Megan has supported people living with complex health concerns and neurodiversity, and has experience assisting veterans. That background informs a steady, patient approach when problems feel overwhelming or long-standing.
Her work often includes practical problem solving for motivation, confidence and coping skills. She uses plain language and simple exercises rather than technical jargon. Sessions aim to reduce worry, improve daily routines and restore a sense of control.
Megan combines Client-Centred conversation with elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She also uses mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to help clients commit to changes. The goal is to create meaningful, workable steps that fit a person's life.
People who prefer a calm, down-to-earth counsellor may find her approach useful. She encourages honest talk, small experiments and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Megan commonly blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with lingering anxiety and avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Megan will work with each person to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress unfolds, mixing mindfulness skills, motivational interviewing or ACT and CBT techniques where useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a shorter check-in or suit lower bandwidth, and live chat or messages work well for brief reflections between sessions. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or care responsibilities and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
