About Megan
Megan Kooyman is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in California. She holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential (LCSW) and brings six years of professional experience to her work. Megan focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure about next steps.
Megan helps with stress and anxiety. She supports people facing relationship struggles and family conflict. She also works with those coping with trauma, abuse, and big life changes.
Background and approach
In sessions she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space for sharing thoughts and feelings. Conversations are practical and direct. She listens and helps people notice patterns that keep them stressed or stuck.
Megan pays attention to attachment and communication problems, caregiver stress, and family of origin issues. She also supports concerns such as guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose. Her approach is focused on what clients want to change and small steps that move them forward.
Many people come seeking relief from post-traumatic stress or to build more self-love and confidence. Others come because they are navigating transitions in early adulthood or dealing with women's issues. Megan works alongside clients to clarify goals and make a plan that fits everyday life.
Therapeutic approaches and online options that fit your life
Megan uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical change and safety. One approach emphasizes understanding attachment and relationship patterns to improve communication and reduce conflict. This helps when past relationships shape current reactions and makes it easier to build clearer connections with others. Another approach focuses on managing symptoms of stress, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress by teaching coping skills and step-by-step strategies to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.Choosing the right way to work together is a collaborative process. Megan will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest approaches to try. Together you can adjust the plan based on what helps most, moving at a pace that feels manageable.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls let you see facial cues and use a full conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quicker support, or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule regular work on goals without long commutes.
