Her work often blends cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness practices, and solution-focused planning to create a personalized roadmap for change.

Megan’s practice is designed to empower people to move toward greater wellbeing while addressing the practical realities that affect daily functioning.

Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Support

Megan commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT often focuses on practical exercises and skills that can reduce anxiety and improve mood. She also incorporates client-centered therapy, which emphasizes empathic listening and building a collaborative relationship so the client feels understood and involved in directing the work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Megan works together with clients to determine which methods best align with their needs, values, and goals. She tailors interventions over time, adjusting techniques based on what is most helpful and feasible in a client’s daily life.

Online therapy with Megan is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to access consistent care without commuting, and they support the use of homework, in-session exercises, and brief check-ins that reinforce progress between meetings.
