About Megan

Megan Woods is an LPC with ten years of experience in the mental health field who focuses on helping people navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and a wide range of other concerns.

Background and approach

She aims to establish a collaborative working relationship where clients feel seen and understood, and she draws on interventions that match each person’s needs rather than following a single rigid method. Her background includes a master’s in marriage and family therapy and clinical work in both office and community settings, offering individual, group, and family services.

Megan values getting to know clients as full people - learning their preferences, interests, and sources of joy - so therapeutic work feels personalized and relevant.

She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques along with attachment-based and client-centered approaches, narrative work, and motivational interviewing to help people build coping skills, process loss and trauma, and address mood and behavioral concerns. Megan welcomes individuals who are ready to engage in practical strategies and collaborative exploration to promote greater stability and wellbeing.

She emphasizes flexibility in sessions, matching activities and therapeutic tools to what will best support each person’s goals and circumstances.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care

Many clients find Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helpful for identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and developing concrete coping strategies for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can be useful for addressing attachment issues, intimacy concerns, and related relational patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and collaboration, creating space for clients to set the pace and direction of work while exploring personal values and sources of meaning.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Megan will work together with each person to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adapting methods as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and responsive to individual needs.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit care into busy schedules and to maintain continuity when in-person meetings are impractical. These options offer flexibility in how and when people engage, supporting consistent momentum toward therapeutic goals while allowing different formats for skill-building, processing, and reflection.
