About Megan
Megan Carey is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, and depression. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard during hard conversations. Her style is direct but compassionate and aimed at practical steps people can use between sessions.
For seven years Megan has worked with adults on everyday struggles and big life shifts. She emphasizes that each person knows their own story and brings strengths to the work.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals that fit a person’s life and schedule. Megan draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and to build new patterns. She also uses acceptance and commitment strategies to help people clarify values and take committed steps forward.
Mindfulness practices and elements of dialectical skills are woven in to support emotion regulation and coping. In the therapy room she centers the client’s voice and choices. Megan offers straightforward tools for dealing with worry, relationship conflict, shame, and workplace stress.
She also addresses trauma responses and mood concerns with care and pacing that match each person’s needs. Megan holds a New York Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW, and she pairs that clinical background with a practical, strengths-based approach. She aims to help people feel more steady, make clearer decisions, and carry new skills into daily life.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small, meaningful steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck when decisions feel overwhelming.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going. It is often used for worry, social anxiety, mood shifts, and everyday stress that interferes with work or relationships.
Megan treats online work as a collaborative process. She will help figure out which approach or mix of approaches fits best, based on your goals, preferences, and how you respond in early sessions. That decision is revisited as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing of worksheets. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Chat and text provide quick, written exchanges between sessions and can help people stay connected to skills during a busy week.
