About Megan
Megan Gervais is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Connecticut with 18 years of clinical experience. She has worked across diverse settings including therapeutic mentoring, child welfare, hospital care, organ transplant services, and chronic illness support, developing a broad skill set to meet varied client needs.
Background and approach
Her background informs work with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, end-of-life counseling, and life transitions. Her approach blends client-centered principles with practical, goal-oriented techniques.
She often uses solution-focused methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify patterns, set achievable goals, and build coping strategies. Motivational interviewing and Internal Family Systems are also part of her toolkit, which she adapts to each person’s circumstances rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
Megan values collaboration and respect, aiming to create a nonjudgmental atmosphere where people can explore challenges like relationship strain, sleep problems, addictions, body image, and career concerns. She frames therapy as a partnership that emphasizes pragmatic progress alongside emotional support.
Practical approaches adapted for online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured method that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test them against real-life evidence; it is often used for anxiety, mood concerns, panic, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and working at the client’s pace so that personal insight and self-directed change can emerge. Megan also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients clarify goals and strengthen readiness for change when facing habits, addictions, or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. She works collaboratively to explore which methods fit a person’s needs, preferences, and goals, adjusting strategies as progress unfolds. Clients are involved in setting targets and testing practical steps so therapy stays relevant and actionable.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit care into busy schedules or manage ongoing health or caregiving responsibilities. These formats allow consistent contact and the opportunity to use the same therapeutic techniques and goal-setting work that she applies in other settings, while accommodating different communication styles and logistical needs.
