About Megan
Megan Woods is an LPC who helps people facing worry, stress, and major life changes. She works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her tone is practical and down-to-earth, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and unsure where to start.
Megan prefers a flexible approach in sessions. Some visits focus on identifying a simple daily plan and three coping skills to reduce anxiety.
Background and approach
Other times she invites verbal check-ins paired with activities like drawing to help a person talk through emotions. She draws on a mix of approaches, including cognitive behavioral ideas and attachment-focused thinking. Narrative work and motivational interviewing are also part of her toolkit when they fit a person’s needs.
Megan frames therapy as two people working toward a clear goal rather than a rigid program. Megan has about 10 years in the mental health field and holds a Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. She has worked in office settings, led groups, and provided individual sessions in homes.
Those varied settings shaped how she adapts sessions to each person's life and routine. In sessions she pays attention to practical details about a person’s life - what brings them joy, how their day usually runs, and what small changes might help. That information guides how she and the client set goals and pick strategies they can try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Megan uses a few core approaches that adapt well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and day-to-day coping strategies. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating to others. Narrative Therapy helps people tell their story differently, separating them from the problem so they can explore new meanings and options.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals and preferences. Some sessions lean more toward skills practice and homework, while others focus on telling and reframing difficult experiences. That choice is made step by step, based on what feels most useful.
Online sessions offer several practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist see facial expressions and body language, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what works best.
