Background and approach
Her style is straightforward and collaborative, with attention to small, useful steps that fit everyday life. She uses solution-focused methods to help people identify strengths and set reachable goals. Megan also incorporates cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and habits.
These approaches are used to build coping skills that can be practiced between sessions. Her work includes a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. She also addresses issues such as addiction, communication problems, feelings of isolation, obsessive thoughts and behaviors, impulsivity, and questions about life purpose.
Megan supports people who are dealing with guilt, shame, jealousy, and forgiveness work. Megan works with people who have intellectual disabilities or neurodivergent traits such as autism or Asperger syndrome, and she understands how those experiences can shape daily functioning. She aims to keep language plain and interventions practical so progress is visible and manageable.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Megan commonly uses solution-focused methods which concentrate on strengths and clear next steps. This approach helps people set small, achievable goals and track progress between sessions. It is useful for stress, parenting challenges, and practical life changes.She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice thought patterns and shift unhelpful reactions. Those techniques teach specific skills for managing anxiety, mood problems, and compulsive thinking. Sessions include practice of skills and brief exercises to use outside of meetings.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will ask about goals, daily routines, and what has helped or not helped before. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what feels useful and realistic for the client.
Online therapy can be flexible and fit into busy schedules. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter audio check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging are options for shorter updates or check-ins. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to use techniques between meetings.
